No, I did a ./calendar, which worked perfectly.  As per your suggestion, I did
the -c, and was told syntax was fine.  Now, what the blue blazes where you
doing?  I don't understand how we're getting different results.

Besides which, if it failed to compile, than you would get a server error from
Apache, which we're not getting.

Not happening on my watch. . . :-P

Nope.  The only thing new was the DBI::Logger module for Apache.  I've also
checked the permission of the path all the way down, and nothing's amiss.

[side note--I was able to duplicate your results as my user account, it
ironically works fine under the root account, which I had to be in to check
Apache's configuration]

This is annoying as hell.  It worked fine before. . .
