Re: [cobalt-security] Not sure if the right list



Hi Nathan,

could as well be that the script itself has errors and that it has nothing to 
do with CGI-Wrap.

Add the following line to your CGI script(s) and put it before your first 
lines of code, but below the #!/usr/local/bin/perl in the first line:

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

That will make sure that more detailed error messages are sent out to the 
browser instead of the dumb 500 server error which usually occurs when a 
script bugs out.

Or you could try to run the script(s) from telnet (or ssh) with "perl -w 
scriptname.pl" to see if it runs fine. If not, then enjoy the detailed error 
messages which should at least give you some pointers of what's wrong in 
which line.
