What path do I have to give when I want to use a Perl script (in the CGI-bin).
I cannot find how to get working in the right way.

Due to lack of more details (os, perl ver, etc) and lack of sleep, please see these search results:

The OS is Fedora Core 1 
I already tried #!/usr/bin/perl (what I find in the posts before i created this topic) but that gives the 500 error.

I didn't look through all the search results, but I don't want to *assume* anything, so please do not take any offense at the following questions (some of these were covered in different threads):
Did you check ownership and perms ?
Check the httpd.conf AddHandler ?
Ah damn, my mind just went blank on the other questions, and I'm too tired to read the other post results myself right now. Sorry.
Hopefully I'll remember this thread after I get some sleep. Otherwise, sorry I didn't have better suggestions.

I did not change any of those things, I assumed Plesk defines this stuff correctly when creating a account.

#!/usr/bin/perl is the correct path to perl. Make sure that you chmod the executable to 755.

Login to the server using ssh and run:
whereis perl
This should give you the full path to the perl binary.

[Wed Jul 13 09:09:10 2005] [error] [client xx.xxx.xxx.xx] Premature end of script headers: sendorder.cgi

From my experience the error 'Premature end of script headers' usually arises when there is a permissions problem. Either that or bad paths detailed within the script itself.

It is a standaard many used script.
I even tried 777 as permission.

If you run perl -c file.cgi, from the command line, do you get any compilation errors?
also check you definitly upload in ASCII and not binary, you will end up with horrible ^M characters on the end of every line (not viewable in all editors though)
If this is the case you can strip them easily using vi
vi filename
:%s/^v^m//g
where
^v = Ctrl +v
and
^m = Ctrl +m
You can also find that many windows based editors will add these illegal end of line characters, use a good editor like Scite where you can change/view the EOL if you need too.
