        Is it in your cgi-bin directory or elsewhere? Sounds like you need to set it as executable. Make sure you uploaded it in ASCII format also.

          paths to perl correct?

          Cgi-bin enabled?

              yep, its working now, thanks


              had to re-upload it to the cgi bin, and then had to re-upload it again in ASCII instead of Binary

              but it works, thanks

                Upload in ascii and make sure permissions are set to 755.
