Internal Error (500)

[BWiz]

Im currently expanding my knowledge to PERL/CGI. I have the Apache Server which I've configured to run .cgi scripts. Moving on, I've used a cgi script (printing a simple sentence), however, I get this error;

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@louisville.edu and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I dont fully understand why this happens, can anybody help me with this? Thank you for reading!

There are several things that can cause this error. The server error log will provide some clues to the problem. Post the error message from the log. It would also help if you post your script, if it's not too long, or at least the first 10 - 20 lines.
