I can't be of tremendous help, but I suggest you try wrapping your code 
in a try: catch block, and printing out the message error you get. Also, 
make sure you print out the context type. You say you're a newbie, but 
you may very well be more experienced with CGI than me. In my 
experience, you always get an internal error if the program exits before 
it prints out the content-type.
