Apache 1.3.23 (Suse Linux8.0): CGI

Hi,
I am very new to Apache. I successfully installed Apache and localhost is
displaying the default page. However my primitive Perl CG Script (Hello
World) copied into /usr/local/httpd/cgi--bin/ invoked Internal Error due to
missconfiguration.

What ist wrong?

Thanks

Chris

Check your error log for any details. This can be a difficult problem
to determine without that info.

The most likely cause is that you have not got the shebang line
pointing to the correct path to the Perl interpreter (i.e., the very
top line in the script -- #!usr/bin/perl or something like that).
