If you ever got the dreaded "500 Internal Server Error" when you try to run a script from your web site, it's possible you don't have the proper modules installed for that script. Now you can find out what's installed in just seconds.

Installation:

Module Checker automatically installs on your web site in seconds Or, follow the below instructions to install manually.

• Upload module_checker.cgi to your cgi-bin directory in ASCII format
• CHMOD module_checker.cgi to 755

Example:

When you run the Module Checker, you can specify which modules you want it to search for. Below is an example of what you will see when it runs:

Socket Version: 1.72
CGI Version: 2.752
Net::DNS Version: 0.34
Net::FTP Version: 2.67
Net::HTTP is not installed
Net::SSL Version: 2.77
Net::SSLeay Version: 1.21
Net::SMTP Version: 2.25
Net::POP3 Version: 2.24

LWP Version: 5.53
GD Version: 1.19
DBI Version: 1.32
Mysql Version: 1.2401

I think what you have is a wonderful thing for those who do not understand html, cgi bins, etc. Best of luck to you in your endeavors.
