i'm getting 501 errors on all my scripts at aletiahosting.com even though i've:

1. Changed the permissions of my home directory to drwx--x--x

2. Changed the permissions of my directory and the scripts to drwxr-xr-x

3. I've tried switching to PHP-CGI using #!/usr/local/lib/php from Perl-CGI #!/usr/bin/perl and it still won't work.

Try perl -c FILENAME this should give you an idea of the problem
