Hithey're
I have a few Perl CGI running on my site. I did the Gamma AUP and
not working anymore.display.
I tested it with a small script test.cgi:
print "Environment Variables";
print "";
while(($key,$val) = each(ENV))
{
print "$key: $val \n";
}
print "";
Normally it would list all environment variables but now it's an empty
If I look at the page source (the blank page, I replaced the bracketswith []):
[!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"]* Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www. (1:124/5013)
[HTML][HEAD]
[META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows- 1252"][/HEAD]
[BODY][/BODY][/HTML]
That's all. And this is for all CGI I have on my site.
Hmmmm,
I copied and pasted this a ROLF.PL file
------------- cut here -----------
print "Environment Variables";
print "";
while(($key,$val) = each(ENV))
{
print "$key: $val \n";
}
print "";
------------- cut here -----------
and it into my CGI bin directory.
I started my browser, logged in and type:
/cgi/rolf.pl
and it spit out the entire environment.
I'm using the latest GAMMA AUP. I ran the GAMMA AUP to make sure. The important dll is:
2005-12-17 06:54p 555,284 wchttps.dll
and by the date of it, that hasn't changed since the initial gamma
release back in December.
Hope you can help find out whats going on there.
Oh, I have a very old ActivePerl.....2001 version.

same result, the CGI doesn't work.
I tested it with 451.5 and see that it's the same problem.
Now I restored an old backup from 454.4 to test it and the
CGI are working. Didn't you change anything in the 451.5
update with PHP and CGI? Possibly this has something to do with it.

Since CGI working here and Michael Purdy is a big CGI user, he hasn't reported anything, it has to be the script engine itself.
There were major enhancements in the CGI web processor in 451.5 and let
see if there were and changes in 451.6.... This was the only fix in
451.6:
- FIX: Fixed CGI command line option to use arguments correctly.
See AUP for details.
There is only one thing I can thing of, and that is the script engine.
Older systems where relaxed in spitting out the Status: and
Context-Type: line. The WEB server will make a default assumption of
302 and Context-Type: Text/Html.
451.5 was enhanced to better support the environment strings,
DOCUMENT_ROOT, and to work out the PHP versions differences, etc.
In short, to better support the CGI standard documented at the Oreilly Standard CGI Web pages.
My test environment was active perl (2001 version), all versions of PHP which I remember have different behaviors.
Try adding this to the top of your script:
print "Status: 302\n";
print "Context-Type: Text/Plain\n";
print "\n";
Let me know what you find.

I added the three lines to the top but it doesn't display anything. The page source contains META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252". Shouldn't this be a text/plain with the added code?
(I tested it with content-type and context-type, I think the x was a typo)

Then run the URL and see what SOCKET.LOG says.
If there is no response data, It has to be the script engine.

What do you mean by "all CGI programs?"
Type this:
Change the .PL script engine to this:
C:\WC6\FAKEPERL.CMD
Then create this batch C:\WC6\FAKEPERL.CMD file:
--- cut here ---
@ECHO OFF
ECHO HELLO WORLD!
--- cut here ---
You got to get a HELLO WORLD now!

I have tested Perl with your version and 5.8.7 and they both work fine as does PHP.
Perhaps Hector can offer further wisdoms based on your socket log.
The only time I have seen perl produce a blank Web output is when it is having problems locating the associated .dll which for you would be perl56.dll. and should be in your path statement.
