CGI.pm 2.78 and mod_perl 1.26 troubles
Hey gang, I just upgraded the CGI.pm perl module to 2.78 (don't know what the old version was) and now none of my scripts running under Apache::Registry are working. Instead of executing the scripts, I'm prompted to save the script. Here is a sample script: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI qw/:standard/; print header; #print Content-Type: text/html\n\n; print start_html, h1(Hello, World!), end_html; This works in the regular cgi-bin directory, but not in the directory for the mod_perl scripts. Uncomment the line that manually produces the header and comment out the call to header() and it works fine. I'm also getting the occasional error message in the error_log: [Thu Dec 6 10:41:53 2001] [error] Can't coerce array into hash at (eval 35) line 31. Has anybody else experienced this or have any clue as to what may be going on? Here is the perl section of httpd.conf and relevant stats: Apache 1.3.22 mod_perl 1.26 mod_ssl 2.8.5 httpd.conf: Alias /perl/ /usr/local/apachessl/perl/ Location /perl SetHandlerperl-script PerlHandler Apache::Registry PerlSendHeader On Options +ExecCGI /Location PerlRequire conf/startup.pl PerlFreshRestart On PerlTaintCheck On -David

Solved it... apparently, if you upgrade CGI.pm while your web server is running, a restart is not good enough. You have to shutdown completely and then start it back up. *Sigh* -David On Thu, 2001-12-06 at 10:43, David Shrewsbury wrote: Hey gang, I just upgraded the CGI.pm perl module to 2.78 (don't know what the old version was) and now none of my scripts running under Apache::Registry are working.

You have to shutdown completely and then start it back up. yeah, especially if you're using mod_perl and have pre-loaded modules at server start up. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ It is better to live rich than to die rich. -- Samuel Johnson
