Here is an idea.
My old website is at:
http://www.mflan.com/index.htm
Then about 2-3 months ago I created a Wordpress version
of only my main page and put it here:
http://mflan.com/mf/
I created it from the Cpanel and was very surprised
when it worked the 2nd time around.
Then I decided I liked that, so I left my old
"index" page there, but then created a Redirect
from mflan.com
in directory /(.*)
to redirect URL:
http://www.mflan.com/
It says "Redirect with or without www."
There are no Aliases on this account.
Personally I don't even see how that redirect works.
Surely all this has nothing to do with the CGI problem
I was having until Mev421 fixed it.
I'm guessing that Mev421 is not interested in a
tech support job at HG, but I'm sure he would
do good there :-)

I think you may be on to something there, but it did not
work when I changed my line:
<FORM ACTION="http://mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi"; METHOD="POST">

<FORM ACTION="http://www.mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi"; METHOD="POST">
I say it does not make send for the link
http://mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi?name=muscle
to work if File::Find was the problem.
WOW, I just tried:
<FORM ACTION="http://www.mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi"; METHOD="POST">
and IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I need to figure out what is going on here.
Why did it work before and then quit working.
I am positive it worked before.
If anybody can enlighten me, please call me at

Change

To
<form method="POST" action="http://www.mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi";>
And this makes the form submission work the same as the Query String.
The form post was sending the data, but then receiving a 301 redirect
to prepend www. However it may have not been preserving the form data
on the redirect, so it did not return the proper response.

Without root access I do not believe you can install gcc, and since
you cannot install File::Find without gcc you maybe SOL.
Perhaps you should consider moving your site, Siteocity is a full
cPanel server and is about $70/year. It should allow you access to
File::Find if you use the cPanel Perl
#!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl

Let me be a little more verbose here.
The program works fine if you click on one of those
words - so this link works:
http://mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi?name=muscle
If you put a word (and word) in the box and hit
submit, it does not work.
If you put muscle in that box and hit submit it
does not work.
I need File::Find installed, that is for sure.
I may need more things after that.

So changing the shebang to #!/usr/bin/perl fixed your problem?

Thanks Julian,
Using that shebang produced a 500: Internal Error
Before yesterday I was using
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
It worked long ago with that.
Now I am using
#!/usr/bin/perl
use cPanelUserConfig;
just because they say to use that.
The website is this:
http://www.mflan.com/cgi-bin/qa.cgi
Just put 'and' or 'doctor' in the search
window and hit Submit. It should produce
a list of questions like when you click
on any of the bold words on the right side
of the page.
Yes, it is a cPanel server (in my opinion).

If your "script" has a shebang at the top, make sure it says:
#!/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/perl
That will ensure you are using the cPanel Perl which has all those
modules installed.

Does the HG server that is being used is it a cPanel server? If
so everything you need should already be there.

A sign of the times?
I have a CGI program on HostGator that worked fine
for years. Now it takes the form input, recreates
the webpage, but does not produce any output. I
have this set:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
but there are no errors given.
I think it broke when they moved me to a new
server many months ago.
I notice that File::Find, which the program uses, is
not listed as an installed module.
ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.34
File::Copy::Recursive 0.44
File::HomeDir 1.004
File::Path 2.16
and 40+ others are installed, but not File::Find.
Wouldn't that produce an error when it saw:
use File::Find in the program?
So I call up support. 1st tier couldn't handle it,
so they bumped it up to tier 2 support. Mine is
the first call the tier 2 guy has ever had regarding
Perl modules!
When we try to install File::Find it gives error:

**************************
So I wait for a C compiler expert to spring into action.
It's been less than 24 hours so far and this is very
low priority for me. I will wait for incident number
09337722 to be resolved.
