OK. Well basically the problem  originates from myself. 
A simple perl script that just outputs text works. But basically I have a line
at the top
require "cgi-lib.pl"
It should be looking for that in the current directory and it's not. I've
tried using absolute paths to it. 
Error in logs/error_log is

Can't locate cgi-lib.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at
/home/committe/phil/public_html/cgi-bin/outings.pl line 2.

The last place that looks is the current directory which is the current
cgi-bin directory, so I don't see the problem. 
Any ideas?
Phil.
