Last night I found that my site (hosted on bluehost) stopped performing perl scripts. I suspected inconsistent data in the db, but could not figure out what was wrong. Eventually things started working again by itself.
Right now the problem is back.
I have a basic script that I invoke with
http://(mydomain)/cgi-bin/xx.pl
This script executes FINE on the console.
Through the web browser, I get a
<!-- SHTML Wrapper - 500 Server Error -->
permissions are fine. I've used this script which prints out the environment for many years. Never a problem.
I ran top and found no overly high CPU load.
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD><title>Cookie test + Environment</title></HEAD>\n";
print "<body>\n";
#foreach $key (sort keys %ENV) { print $key, " = ", $ENV{$key}, "<BR>\n"; }
print "</body>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";

WHAT is going on? My site cannot exist w/o perl working.
