FWIW
I realise you're enjoying yourself... but sometimes it's not worth re-inventing the wheel.
I'm not totally sure what you are trying to achieve but a quick Google shows lots of 'time zone' clock scripts.

Yes it will. The text to print out is calculated after I've applied the time zone offset.
I should have mentioned, I changed the script to function off GMT as opposed to the server local time as well.

This one relies on the users desktop clock being correct so it's not very accurate.
Hopefully if I can get the code to work, it'll be of great use to me. And hopefully the users of my website ^^ so it's worth it.

okay so far it's not working :( I changed the path back to /usr/bin/perl.
here's the error log
Test Page
As you can see I tested calling the two of them at once on the page. I deleted the NY one and still got the same result. Hmm do you know what might be the invalid CGI reference?
here's the error log

Would it be okay to get rid of this part?
Not sure if it's interupting the rest of the code. Does the index.shtml need to be 755 aswell?

Hm..theres several reasons for that error
Instead of
try...
Instead of
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/textclock.cgi?zone=Singapore"--> try...
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/textclock.cgi?zone=Singapore"-->
no luck I'm afraid :( I also changed it to NewYork instead of Singapore, same result.
Any other things it might be?

Otherwise I've just tried this on my dataflame hosting and it works fine.
