[Boston.pm] CGI::Carp and mod_perl

2004-08-03 Thread Ron Newman
If I run this under mod_perl: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI::Carp; die "Death by chocolate\n"; the Apache error log reads: [Tue Aug 3 17:54:00 2004] [error] [Tue Aug 3 17:54:00 2004] null: Death by chocolate If I run it without mod_perl, it prints out the name of my script instead of "null". Why

I am not at all certain of what I did differently. I was playing around with all of your suggestions. And one of my attempts ACTUALLY WORKED! So thank you all very much for your help. I have tested it several times now. If you are still curious and want to see what I've got (code), I'll be hap

I'm not sure why your code isn't working. It's a bit hard to debug, because we're just seeing bits and pieces. Anyway, here's a simple example that does work: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header(); print <<"EndOfHTML"; File Upload Example En

Upon further testing I verified that the statement "my $picture = $query->upload("$file");" is indeed returning undefined. What would cause that? I do know that $file DOES contain valid information (the correct name of the field holding the file to be uploaded). --Alex > > Thanks Richard, ev
