There are a few scripts that use system calls (``). There are scripts that don't use system calls at all and still have the 0. None of them create any subprocesses.
I checked to see if mod_perl was handling the scripts that sent the '0' but perl is indeed handling them and not httpd. For testing this problem I have a standard setup: <Directory "/home/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all Options +ExecCGI </Directory> The mod_perl script directory: <Directory "/home/www/perl"> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry Options +ExecCGI PerlSendHeader on PerlModule Apache::DBI Apache::StatINC AllowOverride All </Directory> The server is running Apache 1.3.20. I'm not sure how to find the version of mod_perl... Nothing looks out of wack does it? Anything running in cgi-bin has a '0' appended to it and is exceuted by perl. Anything in perl does not have the '0' and is executed by httpd. - Mike -----Original Message----- From: darren chamberlain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 0 being appended to non mod_perl scripts.

Also, if PerlSendHeader is making the script behave differently, it sounds like mod_perl is handling your script (you can check for $ENV{MOD_PERL}).
