Exclamation Perl Install Problem


I recently install RH 9 on my machine, Trying to configure Apache web server along with Perl. I successfully configured the server and installed the perl on it. My questions:

I placed /root/Perl-5.8.0 binaries downloaded from CPAN.org and install the perl as directed by the readme file with it. It got installed successfully, my questions are:

1- what's going to be default path for perl in my scripts?
/usr/bin/perl OR /usr/local/bin/perl ?

2- What additional configuration do I need to do after final installation i.e. 'make install'

3- I am getting premature script header (500 internal server error) for my simplest script when I run this in browser, but when I run the script in the Terminal it runs fine?

4-this shows I have no problems with the script as it runs fine in the terminal, there must be some problem with perl or with installation.

5- I have double checked the causes for internal server error 500, like setting permission, verifying the paths etc, but of no use.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any input.

Zeshan.

First off, why did you have to install perl from CPAN - Redhat comes with all installed (unless you say no).

Do a "which perl" to see the path.

I don't think your diagnosis is right. The fact that the script runs in a terminal doesn't mean it's also producing the right html output and required strings. There is a log file for the http server where it says exactly what's wrong - somewhere on /var/log/http or so.

Hope it helps,
mlp
