CGIWrap Error: Script Execution Failed
CGIWrap encountered an error while attempting to execute this script:

Error Message: Permission denied
Error Number: 13
This message usually indicates there is a problem with the script itself. Often this indicates either that the #! line of the script is incorrect, or the script was uploaded in binary mode instead of ascii mode. Check to make sure that the script does not have control-M's at the end of every line. That will prevent it from executing. An easy fix that takes care of this most of the time is to put '#!/.../perl --' instead of '#!/.../perl' on the first line of the script. This is typically a problem if the script was edited or uploaded from a DOS/Windows/Macintosh station to a unix based server.
If you are not the owner of this script, please forward this error and the URL that caused it to the script owner. That is often the component in the URL right after /cgiwrap/.

What does this mean, why isnt the script executing?

Can you post your code? Aside from what the error message suggests, it could also be a permissions issue.

It's most likely a permissioning issue (assuming you have uploaded in ascii mode as the error suggests and the #! line does point to your perl interpreter) but it's hard to say really without looking at the code and knowing the configuration of your server.

Might be an idea to ask your host for assistance
