perl module paths are the paths where perl looks for the add on modules
and functions for scripts ( ie CGI.pm is located most probably in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3 ) these really only affect you if you use
custom modules, or if, for some reason, your perl installation was not
compiled properly / modules were not installed properly.
on a different tack; have you checked the directory permissions for
'cgi-bin'? it should have execute permission for owner, group, and user
( 755 ) so that web scripts can run properly; most web servers are setup
up to execute scripts in any directory with the right chmod, or in any
cgi-bin directory with no modification of settings.
if you know perl, PHP is pretty much a snap to learn; they both use the
many of the same syntax with some minor differentials that are easy to
google out.
i think that if perl is not working for you on this server, then PHP
would be the logical choice ( unless, by some miracle, the perl problem
works itself out ).
if all else fails you can send me the script via email and i will test
it with my testbeds ( linux and windows servers with different perls and
configs )

I logged into the account and found the following:
perl module paths
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
What does that mean? It says that the path to perl is /usr/bin/perl
and the version is 5.8.3.
Aarrggghhh!!
