I'm trying to get to the bottom of trouble with a web application that runs out of control and crashes the apache children (Apache/1.3.26 on 4.6.2-RELEASE with perl 5.6.1 [ all of my perl modules have been rebuilt with 5.6.1 which seems to be a good idea on FreeBSD ]).
Not everything crashes, but certain pages do. These pages involve a forum app. I have a file called DrawMessageSummary.htm which is called again and again by a file called DrawList.htm. My hunch is that this has to do with poor HTML. Should we Embperl programmers be moving towards XHTML? I know that's not exactly the issue, but it gets you thinking about doing things like such: <form> <input type="submit" /> </form> which is the same as: <form> <input type="submit"></input> </form> instead of: <form> <input type="submit"> </form> Of course the latter has a tag that is not closed. Of course, those of us who learned a long time ago gained the bad habit of doing stuff like this: <br><br><hr><p> And these are also unclosed tags. Of course XHTML also involves attribute quoting, as in XML and XSLT: <form action="submit.htm"></form> instead of: <form action=submit.htm></form> So, of course I should move to XHTML as a good practice, but is the unclosed tag thing something that could cause Embperl to go nuts in 2.0b8?
