I am trying to create .pl file that will accept post code from one page and insert into another page. I have a script for this. I also have the script for the pl page. I ran the pages through Perl Builder and debuged a few errors, but seems to be ok. However, online it gives me error 500, I have the .pl in ASCHII mode with write permission 755. I actually have two .pl pages for two seperate forms. Does anyone know what I should try to figure this out?

Thanks:confused4

Error 500 means it is a bad request (Also can be 550 I believe)
this means the form may not have been set correctly on the page that it comes up on (The HTML, not the PERL.)
CHMOD 755 means:
user (that's everyone else) can read and execute
group (that's the users you specified in the FTP menu in C-Panel) can read and execute.
owner (that's you) can read, write and execute files.
Normally, 755 should work, unless it's files like InvisionBoard's skin files, which need a CHMOD of 777.

Thank you for your tips. I rechecked all files and made some changes, but still does not work. I contacted the writer of the script, but may not here from him. He said on website that he is very busy and may not return some emails. Does anyone know how to read perl? still :confused4
Thanks
