I think I must have gone nuts. One browser request gives me two of everything. Everything is doubled - the log file entries and the brwoser output. The two outputs seem to be separated by about a second. As you can imagine this really screws up my output html.

This problem also happens when I switch apache into single-threaded mode, if I use straight CGI, whatever. Running it off the command line, it appears that my module (Common.pm) gets loaded twice, but the program only runs once.

Going through my backups they all seem to do it, and yet I'm sure I would have noticed this problem a week ago. What could I have done to get this effect?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
