I have a perl script that was running fine under IIS/5.0 with ActivePerl 6xx - I'll put the salient parts here:
use IO::Socket; use CGI; $in = new CGI; $server = IO::Socket::INET->new( PeerAddr=> "...",PeerPort=> ...,Proto=>"tcp",Type=> SOCK_STREAM) or die "Error message ... $@"; $server->autoflush(1); ... (information is gotten from $server via <$server>) ... (information is sent to $server via 'print $server ...') ... (server's response is read via <$server> and printed to browser via 'print') close ($server); That's it - a very simple Perl script that basically takes information from the GET or POST strings, sends it to a server process and reads its response, printing it out to the browser. I've now moved the script to Apache 1.3.20 w/ mod_perl 1.25 (I think its 1.25, but it may be 1.26 - the server's not running at the moment, else I'd find out for sure). It *seems* that the script can run once, but that the next time it is accessed, it cannot connect to the $server anylonger, it dies with a 'connection timed out' message ... What 'gotcha' is causing this? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!! Sincerely, Brice D Ruth -- WebProjkt, Inc. VP, Director of Internet Technology http://www.webprojkt.com/
