Here is my problem, I am trying to submit to perl script an authorization code from flash (input box named accound\_name). I used this posting method: getURL(“[http://www](http://www).\*\*\*\*\*\*/cgi-bin/ath\_query.pl” , “\_self”, “POST”);. I don’t understand what is wrong with it. The old authentication part was in html and something like this: function submitTo(button\_descr) {//JD 7/14

window.document.formid.action =“[http://www](http://www).\*\*\*\*\*\*/cgi-bin/cc\_id.pl”;  
temp=window.document.formid.cc\_id.value;  
if(temp.length!=10){  
window.document.formid.action =“[http://www](http://www).\*\*\*\*\*\*\*cgi-bin/ath\_query.pl”;  
window.document.formid.account\_number.value=temp;  
}  
window.document.formid.name.value=button\_descr;  
document.formid.submit();

}

A 500 error usually means there is something wrong with your PERL script, or the server configuration for interpreting the script. Can you post the PERL script? Also, can you check your server error log, there should be details about what caused the error.
