It has recognised .pl scripts in the past (i.e. last week), I do have access
to the error log, unfortunatly it only seems to update itself a couple of
times a day as opposed to everytime it encounters an error

OK. Do you have access to the server logs? Have you tried naming the file
hellocgi.cgi (The web server may be configured to recognise CGI scripts only
if they have the .cgi extension)
Does your webserver support running CGI scripts?

That has all been done, and the file was uploaded in ascii mode and not
binary

What operating system does the webserver run? If it's Unix or similar you
need to set the properties of the file so that all user can execute the
file. Normally you'll want to chmod the file to a value of 755.
See this for some more details http://www.waferthin.com/manual/manual5.html
The server also needs to be configured to run CGI scripts. Normally you'll
have to place your file in the cgi-bin directory of your site and give it an
extension of .cgi or .pl

I got the following code from a tutorial. When I uploaded (FTP) it as a perl
file I got more errors than you could shake a stick at. When I uploaded it
as an html file it sort of worked, ie it printed out the "Hello world" but
it printed out everything else too. I think I understand why it worked as
html, but I don't understand why it didn't work as perl. Any suggestions
would be appreciated, and if you were the one who wrote this code on the
tutorial, please can you offer suggestions as to why code may fail.
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

sub error {
my( $q, $error_message ) = @_;
print $q->header( "text/html" ),
$q->start_html( "Error" ),
$q->h1( "Error" ),
$q->p( "Sorry, the following error has occurred: " );
$q->p( $q->i( $error_message ) ),
$q->end_html;
exit;
}
