I used to get this problem a lot (like every day) with Windows Navigator
3.01 trying to display pages with a C++ script. I never experienced the
problem with Explorer, and I stopped getting the problem when I switched to
Communicator. Sometimes it would go away if I quit out of Navigator and
re-opened it. Sometimes it went away when I cleared the server cache (not
Quid Pro Quo) and sometimes when I cleared the browser cache. I never did
figure it out, but I think it's safe to say it's probably not something
within your Perl script itself. I don't think it's the interpreter either.
No bets, but I think it's a bug in the beta browser.
