[MacPerl] strangeness

["David A. Barro" <dab112@cac.psu.edu>]

:)  I'm sorry.. I didn't know how else to explain it.

Here's the story.  I installed (originally) MacPerl 5.13r2
on my Mac IIci (is it *really* built for it?)  In order to
use the functions I wanted to use (I was needing CGI.pm) I
downloaded CGI.pm 2.37(I forget which b ).  When I finally
referenced it properly, it told me that my version of perl
was too old.  So I upgraded to MacPerl 5.14r4.  I download-
ed the "_big_appl.bin" that's on Matthias' site.

Things STARTED to work right with a really simple script I
had been working on... as I built on the script, adding lit-
tle things here and there, I'd be getting LOADS of "socket
errors" and others, even though it would be returning HALF
of the data.  So I thought that things were much slower since
I installed MacPerl5.14r4... I switched back to 5.13r2. 
Suddenly, I couldn't save my scripts as "CGI Script" anymore.
The only option I had was "Runtime version" or "Plain Text".

This wasn't working, so I RE-installed MacPerl5.14r4, RE-in-
stalled CGI.pm2.37b*6*, and tried it again.  NOW, all of a
sudden, I'm getting a PAGE or more of errors that weren't 
there before when I was using MP514 and CGI.pm2.37...

?????

What the heck am I doing wrong NOW?  (and BTW, my supervisor
and I are seriously questioning that we should be using a 
better computer as a server than a Mac IIci) 

Desperate,

David Barro
