I guess .cgi in ~/public_html is not executable be default. my browser just showed me the source code. After I created a .htaccess with Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI MultiViews AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl it works now. >>Presently >>http://toolserver.org/~seth/cgi-bin/grep_regexp_from_url.cgi gives an >>internal server error 500. > > in this case, the problem is your script has Windows line endings. > > $ ./grep_regexp_from_url.cgi > - -su: ./grep_regexp_from_url.cgi: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such > file or directory Oops, I feet a bit sheepish about that. I did not know that $ perl grep_regexp_from_url.cgi works even when the line endings are dos-styled. Anyway, :set fileformat=unix did the job, and now everything works fine. >>2.

ErrorLog /home/seth/logs/error.log did not put the above mentioned 500-errors into /home/seth/logs/error.log >>3.
