I get a 500 internal server error when I try to run the code below in a web server which supports perl:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use LWP;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("TestApp/0.1 ");
$ua->env_proxy();
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://www.google.com/loc/json');
$req->content_type('application/jsonrequest');
$req->content('{ "cell_towers": [{"location_area_code": "55000", "mobile_network_code": "95", "cell_id": "20491", "mobile_country_code": "404"}], "version": "1.1.0", "request_address": "true"}');
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
print $res->content,"\n";
} else {
print $res->status_line, "\n";
return undef;
}
But there is no error when I run the code below:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD><TITLE>Hello World!</TITLE></HEAD>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";
print "<H2>Hello World!</H2> <br /> \n";
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV)) {
print "$key = $ENV{$key}<p>" ;
}
print "</BODY>\n";
print "</HTML>\n";
So I think there is some problem with my code. When I run the first perl script in my local machine with the -wc command, it says that the syntax is OK. Help me please.
