Sudden problem running perl script
Mood:  quizzical
Topic: HTML Questions
I have a script that I have been running for a few months now on from my website to assist me in conducting a survey. The script is written in perl and I upgraded my Angelfire account to Neon so that I could run it. (Basic free accounts can't run homegrown CGI scripts.) All of a sudden, it's returning a "File Not Found - 404 message - errorcode 400" but if I change the name of the file from .pl to .pm or even .PL (and change the corresponding call on my index.html), it displays the text so I know it's finding the file. The script was working up until a week or two ago! Has anyone else suddenly lost the ability to run perl from their website?

Yes thanks it's: www.angelfire.com/folk/timhadfield/cgi-bin/survey.pl

(It's also linked to my homepage)

BTW, the errorcode was actually 404 Page not found errorcode 500 (not 400 as previously written)
