Start with something simple that you know works and build your 
way up until you find the problem. First, do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$=1; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
for (sort keys %ENV) {
  print "<li>$_: <b>$ENV{$_}</b></li>\n";
}


Once you get that to run, start adding in modules, increasing 
complexity, etc. Fall back to the last version when you get 
an error. You may even be able to write a script that can 
give you the last few lines of the error_log over the web. :)

If the above does not work, check that you have right path 
for perl. Check that the file permissions are set correctly. 
Check that you are calling the correct URL. Check that you 
ahev put it in the correct place on the server. Check that 
the directory you put it in can run cgi scripts. When all that 
fails, give their tech support line a call. This works much better 
than email, and it's part of what you are paying for, after all.
