This particular thread began last July, but there have been several discussions about ASP crashes using Perl 5.8 on IIS 6.0. The problem typically appears when doing a redirect, but that isn't the only time that it occurs. Some people could work around the problem by changing the redirect to a $Server->Transfer, but I had a case where the error still ocurred.
Recently I managed to devise a simple default.asp that generates an HTML page that goes to the client, the client delays a few seconds, then reloads the default.asp. This runs one round-trip then crashes (if the app pool web garden worker processes is increased, it will run longer - until all processes have been used once). This is described in: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41031 It's been a couple of weeks now, but there doesn't appear to have been any activity on this. Perhaps if others who have seen this problem, could add their inputs, and/or test/verify the example, it might move this along. I have two asp applications that run with strict and warnings and produce no errors or warnings, just the following: Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0240' Script Engine Exception A ScriptEngine threw exception 'C0000005' in 'IActiveScript::SetScriptState()' from 'CActiveScriptEngine::ReuseEngine()' Perl 5.6 works fine - it seems to be just 5.8 on IIS 6.0. I need to do some enhancement on a couple of asp/perl apps, but there is no point in going any further with perl if this cannot be resolved. Can anybody add anything that might help?
