Ok, I changed my script extention to .cgi and so no I have gotten a little further: getting better: failed to open log file fopen: No such file or directory [Thu Aug 9 10:33:09 2001] [error] [client 10.0.32.16] Premature end of script headers: /home/mjohnson/www/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi failed to open log file fopen: No such file or directory [Thu Aug 9 10:37:13 2001] [error] [client 10.0.32.16] Premature end of script headers: /home/mjohnson/www/cgi-bin/myshell.cgi My script: #!/usr/bin/perl -w print( "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ); print( "<html><body><h1>Perl worked!</h1></body></html>\n" ); Again, it doesn't seem to matter that it's perl or not.
