Hi everybody, I hope this message will find its way to the thread I started on the list.
Thanks a lot to all the participants of the discussion, the problem was indeed in this BOM part of the scripts. Markus Wichitill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has recommended to use popular shareware editor UltraEdit, which has two .ini options that prevent the adding of UTF-8 BOMs. To those interested I put a more detailed error report which appeared in the log after I added use Carp; $SIG{__DIE__} = \&Carp::confess; to my startup.pl file, as had been recommended by Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [error] 2092: ModPerl::PerlRun: Unrecognized character \xEF at C:/shttps/CGI-FRLS/METSA/GET_LIST.PL line 1. eval 'package ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::PerlRun::C_3a_shttps_CGI_2dFRLS_METSA_GET_LIST_2ePL;sub handler {local $0 = \'C:/shttps/CGI-FRLS/METSA/GET_LIST.PL\'; #line 1 C:/shttps/CGI-FRLS/METSA/GET_LIST.PL use utf8; binmode(STDOUT, ":raw:utf8"); print "Content-Type: text/html\\n\\n"; print "hello"; } ;' called at C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 665 ModPerl::RegistryCooker::compile('ModPerl::PerlRun=HASH(0x6c3384)', 'SCALAR(0x7c8388)') called at C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 374 ModPerl::RegistryCooker::convert_script_to_compiled_handler('ModPerl::PerlRun=HASH(0x6c3384)') called at C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm line 145 ModPerl::RegistryCooker::default_handler('ModPerl::PerlRun=HASH(0x6c3384)') called at C:/Perl/site/lib/Apache2/ModPerl/PerlRun.pm line 16 ModPerl::PerlRun::handler('ModPerl::PerlRun', 'Apache::RequestRec=SCALAR(0x6c32b8)') called at C:/shttps/CGI-FRLS/METSA/GET_LIST.PL line 1 eval {...} called at C:/shttps/CGI-FRLS/METSA/GET_LIST.PL line 1 Terminating on signal SIGTERM(15) Attached please find a sample of a BOMed script. Please feel free to report the error/fix suggestion to the developers of the corresponding modules. I believe you will be able to do it much more professionally than me ;-) Thanks again for your help!
