Ok now look at you shebang line if perl is
set in your PATH you can use
#! perl -Tw
use strict;
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
print "Context-Type: image/\n\n"; #should be the first
#thing that gets printed
500 is an internal server error and usually
a syntax error is the cause see if is will run
from the command prompt
