CGI path problem - host no help

[Canned_Heat]

Cannot execute scripts. Get 500 error.
I'm setting path exactly as indicated on cpanel page and chmod 755.

Crediblehost support no help.

Is there a simple utility that can be uploaded to the root directory that allows me to set a path in the script so as to test the path and/or to test if perl has been configured correctly for my hosted account?

Thx.

in the cgi file..make sure your path to perl is set

its either in these 2 places normally

/usr/bin/perl

or
/usr/local/bin/perl

put cgi scripts in your cgi-bin folder

Add this:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

near the beginning of the script. It will print out the problems to the browser, usually.
