If you're using a web browser to hit the cgi you might add

use CGI::Carp ('fatalsToBrowser')

which will at least give you more descriptive error messaging.  You 
might also try running the script from the command line if you have 
shell access, with -c flag (for check syntax).

I'm very much a beginner myself, and seeing the error messages makes 
a world of difference when you're trying to learn.
