This is a bus error and means the computer tried to access memory 
that doesn't exist.  You can get this error on almost any Macintosh. 
Maybe the TCP/IP version you are using is causing this error -- or a 
misbehaving system extension? But this is just a speculation. Under 
OS 8.6 with TCP/IP 2.0.3, I can't remember that I've got this error. 
Sorry, but I have no further ideas.

Looks good. :)

Where did you get MacPerl from -- Download.com/CNET?
The actual version is 5.2.0r4  (17-Apr-98). The best place to 
download MacPerl is the FTP master site in Zürich/Switzerland:

ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platform/macos/perl/Mac_Perl_520r4_appl.bin 
(~ 3.6 MB)

Sooner or later you will want to install additional modules. For this 
you will also need the CFM 68K (Code Fragment Manager) version of the 
MacPerl application, because the modules are loaded as shared 
libraries:

ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platform/macos/perl/Mac_Perl_520r4_appl_cfm68K.bin 
(~ 1.3 MB)

You will also need the following files if you are running System 7 
(Mac OS 8 includes these files): CFM-68K Runtime Enabler (version 
4.0), the ObjectSupportLib (version 1.2) and the AppleScriptLib 
(version 1.2.2). These files are not part of the MacPerl 
distribution. You will need at least System 7.1 and 32-bit addressing 
turned on.

Ok, back to CGI. In your MacPerl folder there should be a folder 
'MacPerl CGI' with 4 files in it (Demo.cgi etc.). There should also 
be a folder 'MacPerl Extensions' with 2 files in it. One is called 
'CGI Script' and has a suitcase icon. If this file isn't present, you 
are out of luck -- you can't save your scripts as CGI Script. Get a 
newer MacPerl version.

Good luck.
