Think I have done everything correct. Uploaded as ASCII, right CHMOD.
But then I try contact my .pl files  at http://wse25538.web07.talkactive.net/cgi-bin/debug.pl  with Explorer (accept chockies) and also Netscape. I get 500 Internal Server Error, says:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, you@your.address 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.31 Server at barnensturistguide.nu Port 80

As far I understand I have done everything correct and carefully read the documentation. Any suggestions?

A "500 internal server error" just means something went wrong but doesn't say anything about what the problem actually is.

** Any suggestions? **

Yes, check the server's error logs to see if a more detailed error message was recorded. Failing that, try running the script from the command line (telnet, SSH, etc.) to see what error(s) Perl reports. Once you have that, if you still can't figure out the problem post the more detailed error message here and we'll see if we can suggest anything.

Try some of the things discussed at this link:
http://www.parahead.com/news/coranto_docs/servererrors.shtml

to deal with server errors. The information wasn't written specifically for CalendarScript but it does contain some good information that applies to CGI scripts in general.

Fixed. I had to set my cgi-bin to CHMOD 755 (was 777).
