Drat... I was kinda hoping that would've been it. Oh
well.... Alright, how about this:
1) Set your logging level to debug (is it right now? I bet not)
2) Wrap your startup.pl file in some <perl> tags in your
httpd.conf file and eval the code. See if it sets $@. If so, then print
the result. Another thing you could do is install a signal handler for
$SIG{DIE} and print a stack trace using Carp::Croak. I've had to do the
latter more times than I care to admit, but it works really well in
catching errors.
I'd try #1, personally (much easier). --SC
