Re: beginner CGI error

Is #! /usr/bin/perl not a typo?

I think it should be  #!/usr/bin/perl, or #!/usr/bin/local/perl depending 
on "which perl".  In other words, no space between #! and /usr/.....

As a first resort I try to execute the script from the command line 
realizing that I'll probably get more in the way of error messages without 
having to go to the bother of "last -10 /www/logs/_-error-log "
