Re: exec(...) not working in CGI-Perl with Indigo Apache/Perl on PC/XP

[Electron One]

Thanks. I'll try it, but don't think its a problem - each script has #!Perl 
as the first line and Apache knows that .pl files are Perl scripts. Don't 
want to return, so system would not apply here.

Unless you have associated the '.pl' extension with the perl executable,
you'll need:
exec "perl nextscript.pl";
'exec' never returns. You might need to use 'system()' instead.
ie:
system "perl nextscript.pl";
See perldoc -f exec.

Cheers,
