[Melbourne-pm] Wierd CGI Error - different displays for different executers

[matt]

need more information! an example of the prints that are failing would
be nice. typically when scripts run from the terminal but not in
browser it's usually permissions-related: is your CGI script failing
to read a file because the user (nobody|www-data|apache) doesn't have
permission to read it? try putting an 'or die' after all of your
opens, and then "use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);", that will give
you an answer pretty quickly :)
