Loading ActivePerl build 638 should solve your issue, unless there's a reason you can't use that build.
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.6/ActivePerl-5.6.1 .638-MSWin32-x86.msi If you disable Friendly Errors in your browser, you'll see something about ASP telling you it can't SetScriptState properly (there are a few bugs listed in the bug tracker for this problem). They tend to center around trying to do a $Server->Transfer() or $Response->Redirect(), or oddly enough, when trying to use certain COM objects. http://bugs.activestate.com/buglist.cgi?querytype=simple&type%3Ashort_de sc%3Along_desc%3Abug_file_loc%3Astatus_whiteboard%3Akeywords=substring&O R%3Ashort_desc%3Along_desc%3Abug_file_loc%3Astatus_whiteboard%3Akeywords =SetScriptState&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNE D&bug_status=REOPENED In IIS6 this problem can be masked by increasing the number of worker processes that you allow your WebGarden to control or decreasing the amount of time IIS will take to recycle the worked processes -- neither gets rid of the problem and have possible side effects that are potentially worse than the initial problem. Activestate has had numerous issues with this issue throughout their later 5.6 builds, and can't seem to track down the issue in 5.8 (or at least they won't comment on any possible fixes, except to say that it might be an IIS 6 issue). Numerous users have relayed similar situations, and there's no solution that I've seen in the years that I've been tracking this bug, except to load build 638 or move to VBScript, JavaScript, VB.NET, etc. Good Luck, Steven > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Daniel Bacon > Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 6:09 PM > To: perl-win32-web@listserv.ActiveState.com > Subject: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help > > I'm running several ASP pages using PerlScript via IIS.
