HELP!

I'm having problems with a set of Perl CGI scripts I've uploaded to the 
Demon web server (uk-upload.demon.co.uk). The scripts have been checked 
and work perfectly on my test rig (Apache 1.3, Perl 5.004); however they 
fail with an Internal Server Error when run on the Demon server.

I've contacted Demon commercial tech support, but they have absolutely no 
idea (clue?) as to why it fails to work. The only thing that they can 
think of is that I'm loading the CGI library module in my scripts 
(perfectly understandable, given that they are CGI scripts!). They have 
assured me that the scripts look fine in their Perl script verification 
tool, and that their installation of Perl on that machine is standard. I 
can't verify this as users on that system do not have access to Perl, or 
even most of the standard Unix tools (ed, vi, sed, ...).

Does anyone have experience of perl CGI scripts on Demon?
