Asheesh,
It looks like mod_perl is ok. This information can be gathered here
http://www.netcraft.com/whats/?host=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mathjmendl.org&Examine=
Wait
www.mathjmendl.org is running Apache/1.3.9 (NetRevolution Advanced Extranet
Server/Linux-Mandrake) PHP/3.0.13 mod_perl/1.21
Well this is what I need from you in order to help.
1. do a "whereis perl" You should get the following. "perl: /usr/bin/perl
/usr/man/man1/perl.1.bz2" if you do not get this or something different
reinstall perl.
2. Look at the perl script make sure the first line says " #!/usr/bin/perl "
without the quotes of course. If the script dose not match what came up with
the whereis command change it to reflect the out put of the command i.e.
/usr/bin/perl.
if that still dose not help attach a "snippet" of your httpd error log and
the perl script, and I'll take a look at it, and see if I can help at all.
Also since you are running php, there are some real nice guest books for
php. Take a look at http://www.freshmeat.net or http://www.freecode.com
cheers,
