>Description:
I'm trying to set about converting our servers from Netscape to Apache(which
would be a tremendous boon for me). In the process, I keep running across 
server's whose CGI scripts cause Apache to hang(there seems to be no problem
on the Netscape servers).
The last one we ran into hung while trying to parse lines of a flat file that
looked like:
blah ||ted|steve|bob|etc
The perl in the CGI was to go through and replace the pipes with alternate
characters. If you remove the space traling the initial word, the CGI runs fine.
(eg. blah||ted|steve|bob|etc)
Any ideas as to why?
