what OS is the desktop and the server?
you might want to try playing with the transfer data type in FileZilla [wiki.filezilla-project.org] for the .cgi files
I thought you would have run into that before Dude. Yes, you need to run unix line enders on unix. Windows Perl is not picky about enders and runs either. They will run from the cmd line, but for some reason apache barfs at it.
# perl copy_users.cgi
Content-type: text/plain

What text editor are you using? You should be able to specify Unix enders for everything right in your editor and not have to mess with the ftp conversion.
