It sounds like something is in the wrong place. Try running perl -c  
batchsetup.cgi from the command line. Also make sure that the path to  
perl in batchsetup.cgi is correct. The path to perl should be the very  
first line, beware of blank lines and any space preceding #. Check  
spelling of script name and pathname. Make sure Apache is  
executing .pl and .cgi scripts. Convert the script to Unix if it was  
created or transferred from a DOS box.
