Before I go too far into troubleshooting this, I am working on a module
that involves parsing a requested html document. When I run it by
accessing a page I get a 500 Server error and in my error log I get the
following (I have 'use diagnostics' activated):
------------
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/apache/lib/perl/EO/GlossarySSI.pm line
132, <GEN1> chunk 1 (#1)
(W) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was
interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this
warning assign an initial value to your variables.
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/apache/lib/perl/EO/GlossarySSI.pm line
148, <GEN1> chunk 1 (#1)
<...a few more of the same..>
[Tue Dec 14 15:44:22 1999] [notice] child pid 13243 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)
--------------
My first question is this: Is the seg fault due to the uninitialized
values? I wouldn't think so.
Second, the message is clear as to the reason for these errors but I am
using strict and declaring them (my $var) at the beginning of the
functions. I do not want to set them at the top because their value
depends on an if...then loop for their initial value.
If someone could please point me in the right direction or FAQ, I, and my
sanity, would be most happy.
