Larry, there are a few debugging tricks you can do at this point. The first thing you should do anytime you get an internal server error is check the apache error log (in /var/log/httpd/error_log) - this might give you some indication of what is going wrong.
Another handy thing to try is to run the script on the command line - I'm not familiar with SOAP::Lite, but if it uses the CGI module, you can probably just run your script like 'perl scriptname "args=1&args=2"' - if there is a compile error, you should see that here. You can also check your script's syntax with "perl -cw scriptname". If you're using BBEdit, you can check syntax from there from the perl menu. If you're not using BBEdit, I recommend you get it. :) Also check out the the CGI::Carp module - put this line at the top of your script: use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); This will print any fatal errors in your script to the web browser instead of the error log - very handy for debugging. If you've installed the SOAP::Lite module, and have copied the working script verbatim, I would guess that your problem is line endings - make sure your script is using unix line endings instead of mac - mac line endings confuse perl into thinking your script is one long line.
