What makes you think that this is a Perl issue? CGI.pm reported that the client closed the connection. Why haven't you investigated that? Leopard made thousands of changes in addition to the Apache and CGI.pm versions, including changes to the firewall and networking in general; I'd take a good, hard look at your system preferences, first. and make sure you don't have any other old conf files lying around that may be cousing problems. If you are certain that the problem is in your Perl script somewhere, please include, in your next message a small sample script that replicates the problem. It's very difficult to troubleshoot a description. It's much easier to troubleshoot code.
