[MacPerl] CGI Problem

[Richard Rathe <rrathe@dean.med.ufl.edu>]

I have a new problem with a MacPerl CGI. It's cropped up now that the CGI
in question is used continuously most of the day. I have a feeling it has
to do with various CGIs competing for the single-tasking MacPerl app.
Here's what happens...

After working fine for several days the CGI in question starts returning no
data. WebStar gives this message with each hit:

	Error -1701: Getting CGIreply string ()

At that point the "quit" button on the CGI stops working and we have to do
a hard reboot of the server to recover.

At one time I thought this was due to MacPerl quitting before the CGI
transaction was complete. I had several automated scripts running at odd
hours for site maintenance and they would quit (MacPerl::Quit(2)) when they
were finished. Well, I shut them all down and the problem persists. Has
anyone seen this sort of thing before? Any ideas how to fix it? I have a
feeling that shortening the CGI timeout to 1 or 2 minutes might help.
Thanks in advance.

RR
