Perl Application, Server error

Hi! I'm trying to configure this perl application but getting server
error. I tried running my own goofy perl program from same folder and it
works fine.
I chmoded all the cgi files as per instructions.
Any help greatly appreciated.

1) Don't post attachments.
2) Don't post entire scripts.
3) A server error is not a Perl problem, unless you would like to explain
what the error is.

If you're looking for a helpdesk, you've been standing in the wrong line...

If it is server problem then my program shouldn't be running either. my
perl program works fine from the same folder but this one gives error
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I tried it on different servers but same result.

The 'bad interpreter' line reads like the first magic line in your script is
 bad.

You're the one who said it was a server problem, not me. Now that you've
started sharing some information that might give people a clue as to what
your problem is, I would guess that: a) you've got the wrong path to the
perl interpreter in the shebang line; or b) that the line endings are
incorrect and more than just the shebang line is being read. The error,
however, is definitely not a Perl error (i.e., the shell that can't find the
executable, it's not (yet) anything in the code).

5) And please stop crossposting to it.comp.lang.perl, unless you write in
Italian.

Ciao.
