Checking of web server error logs

Only Perl scripts that are executed as CGI scripts via a user's web browser are covered by this step. Errors are not recorded in the web server logs for Perl scripts that are run from the command line.

The web server's error log records any Perl scripts that result in a "500 Internal Server Error" or "403 Forbidden" error message. You may access your website's error log through cPanel.
