User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021231

Whenever one of the calendar icon links is followed to the CGI, a server error
occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to <http://mozilla.org/build/sheriff/sheriff-schedule.html>.
2. Click a calendar icon next to a person's name.
Actual Results:  
Server Error
This server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling
your request. The most likely cause is a misconfiguration. Please ask the
administrator to look for messages in the server's error log.

Expected Results:  
I think the script is supposed to generate a VCAL file which would probably open
in Calendar if it is installed or another calendaring program.

It still works on my server, and it has the same #! /usr/bin/env perl initial
line that other cgi scripts in the gila tree do.  And it used to work even on
mozilla.org.  It's a very simple script; I have no guesses as to what's wrong. 
Can someone who has shell access to the server could just run the script and
tell us what the error message is?

Or I could just comment out the code that adds all the vcal links.  I don't
think anyone's using them anyway.

Is this still broken?  We're running on Apache instead of Netscape Enterprise
now, so I assume things could have changed just with the server move...

URL reads "You don't have permission to access /build/sheriff/makevcal.cgi on
this server."

Can't we just nuke this file and return a 410? It doesn't seem to be updated and
it isn't very interesting either.
