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.

Why can't I use a package name under Apache::Registry (Continued)
Thats another weird thing. When it was happening I took that Win32::Internet() module and wrote a script to display the headers for a page I entered. It would show the headers for every page except this one! Its like it is not sending anything back. Just as a sanity check, I followed the manual way you described below and and got nothing - just disconnected. I tried the same thing to the "non-packaged" part and got the correct headers back. Nothing in the error_log either. -Original Message- From: darren [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 3:29 PM To: WBChmura Cc: darren Subject: Re: Why can't I use a package name under Apache::Registry bill chmura ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said something to this effect: 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.

Run this on a server, connect to it via telnet, and send us the output from the browser: bash$ telnet myhost 80 GET /myscript.pl HTTP/1.0 Host: myhost ...then you can see exactly what Apache is sending.
