Dear All I solved this problem some years ago by writing to this list and carrying out the suggestions. Oddly, I now have it again.
I am running two servers - an old one, running SuSe 8.2 and apache 1.3.28, and a relatively new one running Red Hat EL 4 and Apache 2.2.4. Here's the thing - the same script WORKS on the old server, and not on the new, and I don't know why. The problem is an age old one - I have jobs that take hours, I want users to submit these jobs over CGI, I want the cgi script to submit a job "in the background", tell the user they'll be e-mailed the results, and then exit after submitting the job. This happens on my old server; it doesn't on my new one. Same script, same data, same everything apart from the OS and apache version. The solution I got many years ago was to make sure all my file handles are closed - they are. CGI.pm version on old server is: 2.8.1 CGI.pm version on new server is: 3.2.9 Mail::Sender.pm version on old server is 0.8.10 Mail::Sender.pm version on new server is 0.8.13 Perl version on old is 5.8.0 Perl version on new is 5.8.5 Any help would be appreciated!
