Re: Why can't I use a package name under Apache::Registry

If I take the following script and run it under apache::registry it runs fine: #!/opt/perl5/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; exit; If I throw a package name in there (like below) it still runs fine as a standalone script and CGI script, but under apache::registry it forwards an unrecognized header to the browser, which I cannot determine what it is. I have removed the package from the code, but still wonder why I cannot do this? #!/opt/perl5/bin/perl package myscript; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; exit; because Apache::Registry overrides Perl's builtin exit() in the compiled script (which has it's own unique namespace). you're calling exit() in a different namespace, so exit() is now Perl's builtin exit. the builtin exit() calls a c-level exiting, killing the process before Apache's output buffers have been flushed. if you're using Perl 5.005+, exit() should be overridden everywhere, what version are you using?
RE: Why can't I use a package name under Apache::Registry - whoooohah
I had tried the telnet to grab the headers already, but... Your second suggestion fixed the problem nicely. Although I do not understand why the exit would cause that problem. After you said that I remebered reading somewhere exits were not good under mod-perl, but they should be caught by the Registry handler. Does the package cause it to not be caught or something? If anyone knows off-hand I would appreciate it, but things are back to normal here at camp confusion and I want to thank all of the suggestions and help given by the list.

Tried it without that `exit' call? 73, Ged.
