> are you *absolutely* sure that the #!/path/to/perl line is correct in the
hi.pl script?
It's exactly the same as the solidform.cgi script, so yes, it's correct.

> Did you edit the script(s) in a Windows (or Mac) editor and then copy them
or upload them to the server
(which would imply incorrect line-termination characters)?
Yes ! Is this really the problem ? Are cgi scripts that sensitive ?
If so, a) how do I get the existing scripts to work, b) what text editor
should I use to create perl scripts ?

> The user, group, and perms are all correct, so I don't see the problem
there.
Excellent.
