punch_card_don has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Molka Monks,
I have several Perl scripts in my account's cgi-bin. They ahve been there for over a year and running perfectly to this day. Before doing an update, I recuperated a copy from the server and saved a copy of this original away. Made a few changes and uploaded it, ran it - the dreaded "Internal Server Error". After much scratching of the head and searching fruitlessly for the typo, re-uploaded the original. To my great dismay - the exact same thing - Internal Server Error. This is the script that was working perfectly just 10 minutes ago with no changes. Check permissios - 755, no problem. So, to get some info, added "-w" to the first line. And bingo, the script runs perfectly again. No warnings, no messages, just back to running the way it was. Remove the "-w", won't run; re-add in the "-w", runs again. So, I wondering what could there be in the setup of Perl or the server that would allow a year old script to run just fine, then stop it from running when re-uploaded with no changes, then allow it to run with the addition of the "-w" switch?? Thanks
