Brent, Unfortunately, it's not much more informative then I said in my first note. Here's a representative error message:
[28/Feb/2002:14:46:37] failure ( 1892): for host 127.0.0.1 trying to GET /cgi2/current_time.cgi, cgi-parse-output reports: the CGI program c:\Perl\bin\perl.exe did not produce a valid header (program terminated without a valid CGI header (check for core dump or other abnormal termination) Whereas when I run the exact same cgi script from the command line with -wT it appears to compile, produces no warnings, and generates valid HTML output. It's odd, but just removing the -T (even with the -w left in) from the #! line in the source file is enough to make the web server execute it properly. --ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brent Michalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ted Markowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:25 PM Subject: Re: Using -T (taint) in perl scripts on Win32 > > What does the web server log file say that the problem is.
