RE: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help
Thank you very much for the response. I down graded to build 638 but I still have the problem. I was on build 638 when the problem first started and only went to 5.8 as a possible fix. Here's little more background. My application ran fine for several years (on Win2K Server). Last week the web server crashed and had to be restarted. I found a A ScriptEngine threw exception 'C005' error in the eventvwr. The error was on a page that was redirected to and also connected to MSSQL. Several bugs reference redirects and database connections but no fix. It seems something has become corrupt. This worked for years and now I can't get rid of this problem. Has this problem been reported on build 638 before? Are there any other possible fixes? -Original Message- From: Steven Manross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 9:43 PM To: Daniel Bacon; perl-win32-web@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: RE: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help Loading ActivePerl build 638 should solve your issue, unless there's a reason you can't use that build. http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.6/ActivePerl-5.6.1 .638-MSWin32-x86.msi If you disable Friendly Errors in your browser, you'll see something about ASP telling you it can't SetScriptState properly (there are a few bugs listed in the bug tracker for this problem).

RE: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help
I'd look at the c:\perl\bin\perlse.dll and make sure it's version information says something similar to 5.6.x.638 Then... C:\perl\binregsvr32 perlse.dll If there's anything wrong with the PerlScript, that should help clear it up. However, if that doesn't work, you might try uninstalling perl, deleting the entire directory (C:\Perl) -- backing up any important scripts or modules first, then rebooting, and finally reinstalling perl from scratch followed by a reboot. Make sure that the checkbox for PerlScript and IIS script mappings are on (I think they are by default). Beyond that, I may be of little or no use. Sorry. 638 has always worked in the past.

RE: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help
I've tried uninstalling Perl build 638/reboot/reinstall/reboot and
re-registering perlse.dll with no luck. This is a production box and I'm told
NO to reinstalling IIS. It doesn't appear that any patches have been installed
prior to this problem. I did turn off the friendly HTTP error option and I'm
getting this error:
PerlScript Error error '80004005'
(in cleanup) Can't call method Item on an undefined value
The line of code it fails on is:
$testvar = $Request-QueryString('test')-Item();
Doing several searches on this error only points me to re-install or upgrade
MDAC which I've already tried. This is a nightmare! I guess I'm forced to
accept converting this to CGI. Or maybe the smart bet is to re-write this in
JavaScript. Thank you all very much for the help!

RE: ASP/PerlScript Issue - Please help
FYI..
This is not the error I was referring to.. What you were describing
seemed so close in how the other error manifests itself, that it seemed
to be the other issue. But 638 works to fix that issue.
The error I have encountered before, was more of a PerlScript resumed in
an unknown state (on the next instantiation of the ASP page).
This one sounds like someone's not passing in the test querystring (but
I am guessing you are)...
Just to see how it's working and or not working, and if other members of
the $Request object are being handled properly try these:
HTML
BODY
%
#is the entire $Request object out of whack?
foreach my $item (Win32::OLE::in $Request-ServerVariables) {
$Response-Write($item. = . $Request-ServerVariables($item)-Item
. BR\n);
}%
/BODY
/HTML
--and--
HTML
BODY
%
#what was passed in the URL
foreach my $item (Win32::OLE::in $Request-QueryString) {
$Response-Write($item . = . $Request-QueryString($item)-Item .
BR\n);
}%
/BODY
/HTML
At my house, I navigated to:
http://localhost/testquerystring.asp?this=1that=2
And got returned...
HTML
BODY
this = 1BR
that = 2BR
/BODY
/HTML
I don't think you should give up yet..

My apologies. I should have included the entire thread in my
