If you edited the file on a Windows computer and uploaded it in "binary" mode, that would put the wrong line-ending terminators there. But I just tested, and it doesn't seem to matter, as long as the line endings are consistent throughout the file.

Just to be on the safe side, can you make a copy of the script, and see if that works:

Code:
tr -d '\015' <oldscript >newscript
perl -c newscript

If yes then just move the newscript file on top of the oldscript file.

The code you wrote, do I put it between print<<EOF; and EOF?
Nope, the whole script file begins with the shebang line #!/usr/bin/perl and ends with the EOF

Also, did you edit the correct file ...? (^:

Try replace it with just a "hello world" CGI and see that you get the expected output.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;

print "<html>\n";
print "<head><title>Tja</title></head>\n";
print "<body>Tj&auml;nare, v&auml;rlden</body>\n";
print "</html>\n";

I can't quite understand you. When I upload other cgi scripts, it is no problem, so I don't think it is that I am sending them in Binary form.

I don't really understand what you are saying that I should do. Has the script worked on your server?

ok, i'll try that

Also just to make sure there is no insidious cache anywhere which is holding on to the old version still, try to give it a completely new name. Some hosts use various mechanisms for loading a script into the server once, and keep it there, and you need to jump through some hoops to replace a faulty script.

And sure enough:

Code:
vnix$ perl -c /tmp/cgi
Bareword found where operator expected at /tmp/cgi line 27, near "<title>Template"
	(Missing operator before Template?)
Bareword found where operator expected at /tmp/cgi line 28, near "</head"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line // string starting on line 27)
	(Missing operator before head?)
Semicolon seems to be missing at /tmp/cgi line 29.
syntax error at /tmp/cgi line 26, near "head>"
Search pattern not terminated at /tmp/cgi line 32.

There's a wrapper module for CGI which displays these types of errors on the generated page instead of that dreaded 500 Internal Server Error. You should probably use that at least while developing. (Search for "errors to browser"; can't remember what the thing is called ... ah, here: use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;.)

Try perl -c scriptname on the server.
