ok, I just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost, because there was nothing
in the Embperl error message. So we have verified that CGI.pm really doesn't
set's $@

They will see the 500 error when you see message in the error log I guess.

I have currently no idea what is happeing. The only way I see to track this
down, is to put logging message inside of CGI.pm itself. I good place to
start is the function read_multipart. Put some warns inside to see where it
might fail.
