[MacPerl-WebCGI] Trouble w. MacPerl and ASIP

["Thorsten Dittmar" <dittmar@mathematik.uni-marburg.de>]

Hi,

I have written a set of cgis that function as a web shop. everything works
fine on my machine, where I use a eval. copy of webstar.

However, the guys i wrote it for want to use AppleShare IP to serve the
pages. So far, no problem.

Now the following strange stuff happens: when they run the shop, only some
of the scripts actually return html, the others time out, hang, and ASIP
returns "504 Gateway Timeout".

The shop works as follows: before you enter, there's a page giving
instructions and License/Disclaimer info. Then you press a button (form that
calls startshop.cgi). The script creates a session ID and a cart file, and
then returns a html document setting up three frames. Each of the three
frames runs a cgi script to output data from a database.

Now: only one (or sometimes two) of those three scripts actually get started
alright. The other(s) hang and sometimes take the entire machine into
nirvana.

Has anybody else experienced this? What can be done? THIS SHOP EVEN WORKS
ALRIGHT WITH PERSONAL WEBSHARING!!!! I don't get it...

And don't tell me to use a Unix machine! They don't want that.

Thanks
Thorsten
