Hi there :)

perl is located in /usr/bin/perl as stated:

root@www2 [/usr/bin]# ls -al perl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 781260 May 28 01:08 perl*


root@www2 [/usr/bin]# ./perl -v
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux

Hope that helps, i know nothing about debugging perl scripts myself though.

CHMOD 755? upload ASCII?

Possibly....

Check the permissions on the directory and file are world execute, CHMOD 755 the cgi-bin directory and the file.

Also check you have uploaded as ASCII

Maybe rename the test file too just to avoid confusion/caching/server saying file had too many errors/heebeegeebees

too obvious? hope this helps.
