Perl Problems

I have a website with about 10 perl scripts running on it. Monday morning, they all stopped working out of the blue... Unless I've been hacked, the scripts have not changed, because I haven't touched them.

Here's the deal...
I can log into the server via ssh and run the scripts fine through a shell. If I try to run them in a web browser, I get a 500 internal server error. Even something so simple as:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "hello world";

does not work (though it works within the shell). I can upload that same file to a different server, and it works fine through a web browser.

Does anyone have a clue as to what could be causing this? My webhost is trying to tell me nothing is wrong, when clearly something is. And I'm getting confirmation through my visitors that the scripts aren't working as well.
