Why am I getting the "Server: Error 500" message?

500 errors are typically something wrong in the syntax of your script. Most often you should check to make sure you have the path to PERL correct. Currently we are running Perl5.6+ on our servers.

The correct path to PERL is: #!/usr/bin/perl

If you are using FrontPage to create your site, you may need a different solution.
