It does sound like a problem with your line-ending characters.  Since
I don't use Win32, I can't give you any specific advice, but I think
you'll be able to fix this if you adjust the characters correctly.
There's some info on this in the perlport man page.

I use modPerl (not the CGI though), but I don't see this error even when 
slapping things on notepad.


Perhaps the problem is something else?

mod perl vesion 2 on Win32 returns runaway multi-line RR string errors on working CGI files

2008-08-24 Thread Joe Smoker 




Hey guys,

I've installed Win32 mod perl version 2.0 and Apache server 2.2.9 on my
XP Pro box according to the directions (I hope)... However, when I
try to run any sample script, I get the following error in the
error.log file:

[Sat Aug 23 16:05:41 2008] [error] syntax error at (eval 6) line 13,
next token ???\n (Might be a runaway multi-line RR string starting on
line 1)\nBareword found where operator expected at (eval 6) line 13,
near "E"\nsyntax error at (eval 6) line 15, near "head"\nBareword
found where operator expected at (eval 6) line 16, near
"titleMy"\nBareword found where operator expected at (eval 6)
line 19, near "/head\r\n body bgcolor="#CC"\r\n
h1This is a pretty lame Web page/h1"\n (Might be a runaway
multi-line // string starting on line 17)\nBareword found where
operator expected at (eval 6) line 20, near "pWho"\nBareword
found where operator expected at (eval 6) line 22, near
"/body\r\n/html"\n (Might be a runaway multi-line // string
starting on line 21)\n

Seems like mod perl does not like the CRLF chars in the notepad
file... but I also tried removing the CR chars with the same result...
here's the script that I tested that works with the external Perl
(5.8) interpretor:

#!c:/perl/bin/perl

use CGI;
my $query = new CGI;

print $query-header( "text/html" );

print END_HERE;
html
 head
 titleMy First CGI Script/title
 /head
 body bgcolor="#CC"
 h1This is a pretty lame Web page/h1
 pWho is this Ovid guy, anyway?/p
 /body
/html
END_HERE

# must have a line after "END_HERE" or Perl won't recognize
# the token

Here's the stuff in my httpd file:

LoadFile "C:/Perl/bin/perl58.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

Alias /perl/ "C:/Documents and Settings/Mitch's Room/My
Documents/Mitch/Html/Cgi/"

 Location /perl/
 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
 Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
 PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
 /Location

Any help with this stuff will be greatly appreciated... Thanks, in
advance. - Joe -
