Anyone an idea why this PERL script does not work at a Cobalt?
I get: malformed header from script. Bad header=BEGIN failed–compilation abor: /usr/cgiwrap/cgiwrap
No Idea what is going wrong.
Thomas is helping, but cannot give a solution yet .. it’s working at his site ..
it looks like a cgi-wrapper problem, so be very sure that the print line reads exactly
“Content-Type:text/html\n\n”;
and be very sure that the line-breaks are correct.
can you edit the script when it’s live (i.e. on the server)? if so, try rewriting the first line of the script and put a new linebreak at the end.
also try this;
BEGIN
{
instead of BEGIN {
and replace all the line-feeds of those lines
with new ones at unix-level.
what type of ftp-client were you using when uploading?
try uploading the zip and unpack it on the server.
check what type of line-feed the original file is having, may very well be unofficial.
Julius:
I’ve used a language editor, I’ve used vi @ the shell ..
the problem persist ..
I’ve no idea what’s the cause.
Uploading with Windows Commander .. Just like I’m doing all the time with MovableType (CMS software running @ perl).
Did you ever solve this problem? I’ve just migrated from one server to another and am now having this problem with a variety of scripts.
bmw rulezzz!
I like this site very much!
Very much Site!
