Ok, I have spent soem time reading here, so this is what i know:
1. all files were uploaded in ascii
2. permissions are correct
3. path to script is full absolute path

I'm uploading to a NT W2k Advaced server.
Perl 5.0004
.pl and .cgi file types are mapped to perl

if i upload db.cgi, i get an internal server error.
if i rename it to db.pl and change the call in default.cfg to db.cgi...i get a "DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view."

i turned on debugged in default.cfg and this had no effect same error.

any one have any ideas? please? with a cherry on top?
