Hi,
My user id is goldcup.

I have just upgraded my account to include a cgi-bin.
I then uploaded a very simple perl script, helloworld.cgi, to the cgi-bin and chmod it to 755.
After this, when I wish to view the script in goldcup.110mb.com/cgi-bin/helloworld.cgi
I got an error which says "Page you're accessing doesn't exist or no longer exists."

So what must I do?

#### script here ###########
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

print "hello world\n";

[inp o҉rtb]

btw, the shebang must be the first two characters, followed by the path to the interpreter. The cgi-bin must also be executable.

Plus the script needs to output valid headers or you'll get a 500 error.

Thanks everybody.
Yes, after putting this header the error was gone:-
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
