[pm-h] Perl Modules at HG

[Mike Flannigan]

Thanks so much.

Actually we figured out yesterday that this is
a 'Premature end of script headers' problem:
https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/apache-error-premature-end-of-script-headers/

So files placed in the cgi-bin folder (even
text or gif files) cannot be accessed with
a browser.  Even though the cgi files in
those folders can be run.  So accent10x10.GIF
is in the cgi-bin folder, but the program does
not see it.

Even 2nd tier support doesn't have access to
the httpd.conf file, so the incident is being
bumped up further at HG.

Interestingly, if you create any other folder
(i.e. cgi-bin2) and put the cgi files in there,
they run fine.

That "Persist Logs" technique is very useful.
Thanks for informing me of that.


Mike
