DEC Alpha Perl 5 Installation

Has anyone intalled Links 2.0 on a DEC Alpha with Perl 5?

I have tried to install Link 2.0 on my site hosted by EarthLink and I get a Error 500. I am having trouble figuring out what is wrong.

Here is part of the links.cfg file:
# Paths and URL's to Important Stuff
# --------------------------------------------------------
# PATH and URL of Admin CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_script_path = "/web/u59/wfp12345/cgi-bin/links/admin";
$db_dir_url = "http://www.rag123.com/cgi-bin/links/admin";

# URL of User CGI directory. No Trailing Slash.
$db_cgi_url = "http://rag123.com/cgi-bin/links";

# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/web/u59/wfp12345/cgi-bin/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://www.rag123.com/me/links";

# PATH and URL of What's New page. No Trailing slash.
$build_new_path = "$build_root_path/New";
$build_new_url = "$build_root_url/New";

# PATH and URL of What's Cool page. No Trailing slash.
$build_cool_path = "$build_root_path/Cool";
$build_cool_url = "$build_root_url/Cool";

# PATH and URL of What's Rating page. No Trailing slash.
$build_ratings_path = "$build_root_path/Ratings";
$build_ratings_url = "$build_root_url/Ratings";

Thanks!
Charles

Check your Perl path.

Thanks.
According to the Earthlink folks, perl is located at:
/usr/local/bin/perl
which is the default.

Then (as clearly stated in the TARGET SHOOTING section of the README file), check the file and directory permissions.
