 Why am I getting the "Server: Error 500" message?
Solution 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 on our servers.
The correct path to PERL is: #!/usr/bin/perl
Here are the correct paths to the common server resources that CGI scripts often require:

Date: /bin/date
Sendmail: /usr/lib/sendmail
Perl5: #!/usr/bin/perl
Serverpath: /home/username/domain-www/cgi-bin
Root path: /home/username/ (puts you in the root of your account)
Domain directory: /home/username/public_html (puts you in your public_html directory) Cgi-bin path: /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/filename (puts you in your cgi-bin)
