[MacPerl] MacPerl CGI Hangs when AppleShare is Running

[Doug Williams <dcw@mail.utexas.edu>]

Hi,

I have been trying to resolve this problem for a while with no success.  I
am running the following configuration:

 - Workgroup Server 8550/132
 - System 7.5.3
 - AppleShare 4.2.1
 - MacPerl 5.1.0r2
 - WebStar 1.2.5

If AppleShare is running, then all the MacPerl CGIs hang & MacPerl crashes
with a Type 3 error.  The strange thing is that if I do the following, then
the CGIs will run correctly:

 (1) Start WebStar
 (2) Start MacPerl
 (3) Execute a MacPerl CGI from a client via WWW browser (executes without
an error)
       - Starting the cgi from the server does not help; it must be
executed via a client
 (4) Start AppleShare

Once the four steps are completed then MacPerl CGIs will run WITHOUT error
as long as I don't unload MacPerl.  Once I quit and reload MacPerl then all
the scripts begin to error again until a go through the above process
again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
