Formmail not working

[bwit]

Hi,

I renamed formmail.pl to a new bot-proof name, however, when I run my forms, I get the following. I played with soupmail, but prefer not to use it. Can someone let me know what's wrong with formmail, please.

Thanks.

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

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@myserver.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm not an expert, but I imagine that somewhere in the formmail script, or in a file that talks to the script, the file name is used, maybe changing the file name broke it because of that.

Chekc the file protections and make sure you have execute priv turned on

Put this as the second line in the file
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
it may give you a better error than a generic 500
500's are thrown for many reason, some straight forward and some obscure. They may be internal server misconfigs or may result from such simple things as uploading the file with DOS instead of unix line endings.
uploading as binary instead of ascii
file corruption on uploading
incorrect permissions
shebang(#!) line does not point to perl
