Greetings, Have a persistent problem with a PERL acgi running with WebStar 3.x on OS 8.6 server. The server is stable, has been for a number of years serving millions of hits a day... there's two perl acgi's that I've written for specific connection in the background to a Linux server using LWP, they post information to this Linux server, wait for reply, and return it to the browser. They been tested and work fine, but... from time to time, they HANG (at other times and upon testing, they work fine). Via Timbuktu I can see this acgi running, but it does not give up (not within the 5 minute, not upon quit request, not upon restart request).
Looks to me like this hang is related to a communication hang in the perl stack or LWP... has anyone seen anything like this, is there any modification I can make to get acgi to quit if it still finds its around for 5 minutes? Is there any fix to make this more reliable? as it is, its becoming a real issue as there's also income related to this that is not happening (which I can not afford to lose ;-) Any help is appreciated... Yonatan.
