As Elaine pointed out, it's most likely a problem with the server
configuration. Your error log should be of help.

After that you might find more experts in all things CGI-like if you
subscribe to beginners-cgi (send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or go to http://learn.perl.org/)
and ask there. :-)


on a sidenote,

print "<font color=\"blue\">-(</font><font color=\"green\">$count</font><font 
color=\"blue\">)-</font>";

would be more readable as,

print qq[<font color="blue">-(</font><font color="green">$count</font><font 
color="blue">)-</font>];

see, no more nasty escaping. :-) (of course until you need ']' in
the string, in which case you might want to quote with for example
qq!string! or qq{string} ... :-)
