wow - just used unix2dos and I can generate the
similar error case on our linux box.
[Thu Apr 25 16:58:46 2002] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of
/drieux/CS/cgi/dumbDos.cgi failed
[Thu Apr 25 16:58:46 2002] [error] [client <IPADDR>] Premature end of
script headers: /drieux/CS/cgi/dumbDos.cgi
this occurs because of the 'dos' two byte ending:
0000000 # ! / u s r / b i n / p e r l \r
0000020 \n \r \n u s e C G I q w / : s
0000040 t a n d a r d / ; \r \n \r \n $ u r
0000060 l = " h t t p : / / w w w .
0000100 p e r l . c o m / C P A N / " ;
0000120 \r \n p r i n t " L o c a t i o
0000140 n : $ u r l \ n \ n " ; \r \n e
0000160 x i t ; \r \n
the comedy here is that the killer is that your linux machine
is reading the 'shebang' there not as
#!/usr/bin/perl
but as
#!/usr/bin/perl^M
and there is no such file of that type.
fix that one line and your code will work....
now of course had you put that line as
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
then the 'shebang' would have worked because
the formating would have been
od -c dumbDos.cgi
0000000 # ! / u s r / b i n / p e r l
0000020 - w \r \n \r \n
that would have moved the "^M" like gunge off of
#!/usr/bin/perl
and perl has no problem with sucking in
-w\r\n
as a command line argument
since in the dark it will 'chomp' that stuff anyway .....
have we mentioned 'use -w' before????
Did we ever mention 'use strict;' before!!!
There are Majikal and Mystical Reasons.....
