(sorry if this question is very lame, i couldnt find any of newbie list on
active state)

hi all,

i am new to this list and also new to perl. i am quite enjoying it while
learning. and i need ur help
regarding one(three??) problem(s) i am facing.

1) i am trying to run a perl script on my website, but it gives me a error
500. how do i make sure that
this server where i am hosted is suporting perl?? (i chekced the "bin"
folder but it has only "ls" file). i am
not sure whether perl exists in "bin" folder on a muti host company. i tried
to contact the hosting comp support
but they just say that they DO support perl, but not much of help.

2) if it exists (perl interpreter), how do i check for bugs(in my program)
apart from looking at the server logs (to which i dont have access right
now, i have asked hte hosting company for it). like any debugging variables
where i can just print
"print @debug;" something like that to get the error info?

3) i am doing a basic, form to mail script. i am not intending to re-write
it again, but can anyone point out to
any links which explain this in very simple terms? (hey, theres more than
one way to do it and i am looking for a
simple way) :).

thanx in advance
