in reply to GD and LWP giving 500 errors

Is it just those specific modules you cannot access, or can you not access any module you install via cPanel? Oftentimes with cPanel, you either have to use #!/usr/bin/perlml in your shebang instead of perl, or you can use cPanelUserConfig;, in order to correctly point perl to the user-installed modules. If you cannot access any of the user-installed modules, it may be that when your host changed upstream providers, they might have changed either the shebang requirements or the name of the cPanelUserConfig (I think I remember my webhost changing the name of the use-file at one point).

On my webhost's cPanel, the "install perl modules" task shows me both the shebang and the use ... methods, and it also shows the installation path for the modules it installs. You might make sure you match what's listed there... and you might even try a simple delme.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perlml # or whatever your cPanel says use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/; use CGI; # later: add other use BLAH; here print "Content-type: text/plain;\n\n"; print join "\n", @INC; printf "%-20s => %s\n", $_, $INC{$_} for keys %INC; or #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/; use CGI; use cPanelUserConfig; # later: add other use BLAH; here print "Content-type: text/plain;\n\n"; print join "\n", @INC; printf "%-20s => %s\n", $_, $INC{$_} for keys %INC;

... to find out your @INC and %INC, then slowly add in your other use-statements where indicated.

Alternately, cPanel should give you a way to look at your log files -- in mine, it's cPanel: statistics: error logs for the host-level logs, or one of the stats packages might give you filtered data.

    All good points. I've stripped the code down to this and it's still 500ing. I am becoming convinced it's blocked by the hosts.
    #!/usr/bin/perlml use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); print "content-type: text/plain\n\nTesting"; use LWP::UserAgent;
    I have installed loads of modules and they all work except for GD and LWP. I can imagine LWP being abused for phishing sites - perhaps that's why it's blocked. But GD??

    I'll try the @INC idea...

    Meanwhile, anyone got a non-LWP way of POSTing?

      more fancy

      use strict; use warnings; print "content-type: text/plain\n\nTesting"; no warnings 'once' ; local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys=1; local $Data::Dumper::Indent=3; use warnings; addin('Data::Dumper',1); addin('CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser)',1); addin('GD',1); addin('LWP::UserAgent',1); addin('x::x',1); sub addin_old { my $mod=shift; my $pre=shift; my %inc0=%INC; if ($pre) {print '<pre>'."\n";} eval 'use '.$mod.';' ; print 'eval use ERROR:'.$@."\n" if ($@); my %incnew=(); for my $k (keys %INC) { $incnew{$k}=$INC{$k} unless ($inc0{$k}); } print 'new to %INC from adding use '.$mod."\n"; print Dumper(\%incnew); if ($pre) {print '</pre>'."\n";} } sub addin { my $mod=shift; my $pre=shift; my %inc0=%INC; if ($pre) {print '<pre>'."\n";} eval 'use '.$mod.';' ; print 'eval use ERROR:'.$@."\n" if ($@); my %incnew=(); my $max=0; # this ends up as largest in %INC not largest that is new + , good nuf for my $k (keys %INC) { $max=length($k) if (length($k)>$max);} my $fmt=' %-'.$max.'s => %s'."\n"; print 'new to %INC from adding use '.$mod."\n"; for my $k (sort keys(%INC)) { printf $fmt,$k,$INC{$k} unless ($inc0{$k}); } if ($pre) {print '</pre>'."\n";} }

      Edit to add:

      interesting there are two modules LWP and GD share

      'Config.pm' => 'C:/Perl/lib/Config.pm', 'Fcntl.pm' => 'C:/Perl/lib/Fcntl.pm',
      adding
      addin('Config',1); addin('Fcntl',1);
      below  addin('Data::Dumper',1); may identify your problem, but both are core

      edit2: just noticed CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser) brought in Config, and that worked it seems

      Edit 3: fixed addin so Dump::Dumper doesnt have to be the first one added, left old as addin_old but it can be deleted if ya want

        I can't claim I really understand what your code is doing but I tried it...

        With perlml in the shebang, it gave a 500 error.

        With just perl, it gave

      try

      #!/usr/bin/perlml use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); print "content-type: text/plain\n\nTesting"; #use LWP::UserAgent; use Data::Dumper; print '<pre>'; print Dumper(\%ENV); print Dumper(\@INC); print Dumper(\%INC); print '</pre>';
      Notice i commented out the lwp use.

      if that works then try
      #!/usr/bin/perlml use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use Data::Dumper; print "content-type: text/plain\n\nTesting"; print '<pre>'; eval {require LWP::UserAgent; } ; print 'possible require ERROR:'.$@."\n" if ($@); eval {require x::x; } ; print 'possible require ERROR:'.$@."\n" if ($@); print Dumper(\%ENV); print Dumper(\@INC); print Dumper(\%INC); print '</pre>';
      notice the change to a require in an eval. and x::x to prove it does fail right.

      edit: dayum forgot "use Data::Dumper;"

        HTML won't render if you use a text/plain content type.

        Thank you. This has proved extremely useful. I've been able to replace a swathe of LWP code with
        $result=qx(curl -X POST --data "$query" 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bi +n/webscr');
        and it seems to work.

        The bit that is now confusing me is how to replace LWP's

        is_error(status) and is_success(status)

        There is barely a mention of response codes in the curl documentation.

        LATER...

        Thanks to a search of StackOverflow, I now have a working workaround that give me access to the response code

        read (STDIN, $query, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); $query .= '&cmd=_notify-validate'; my ($head,$body) = split( m{\r?\n\r?\n}, qx(curl -X POST --data "$que +ry" -si 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'),2 ); my ($code) = $head =~m{\A\S+ (\d+)};
        The latter.

        Thanks for the link
