I'm sorry, but your first line contains a fundamental misunderstanding
[or else I am misreading your intent]. This error is not "in perl".
It is an error from your webserver. The reason this is called a
'500' error is not, as some people have suggested, that there are 500
reasons why you could have gotten it. [Okay, so I'm the only person
I've heard say that. :-]
There are a *lot* of reasons why you can get this error. Your best bet
is to start with a checklist of popular reasons why. For a list of
resources, you can use perldoc. Type this at a command prompt in
a DOS box:
perldoc -q 500
and you'll get the only Perl FAQ which has '500 Server Error' in its
question. There are a list of good URLs to check out, but the checklist
I have in mind is not one of them. That checklist is the ruthlessly-
named but still useful Idiot's Guide written by the somewhat-crusty
Tom Christiansen. You can find it at the perl.com website if you look.
Good luck,
David
