[MacPerl] cgi -- weird behaviour

[Johan Almqvist <johana@netch.se>]

Hi all!

MacPerl does strange things to me...

I have about 40 cgi scripts, all of which work fine by themselves.

However, some of them generate framesets, and then those that are loaded
(laden?) into the frames don't work any more. That will typically be the
4th cgi called, with WebSTAR and loads of memory for MacPerl on a powerMAC
7200...

It has nothing to do with the environment/arguments, as i can "hard-wire"
them into the program and it will run.

if i put something like

open FILE,">token";
print FILE "running ok.";
close FILE;

right at the top of the cgi in question, there isn't even a file by that
name on my disk after like 15 mins. ie. the first 3 lines don't even get
run, so it doesn't hang in the middle or anything.

The applet will just hang there forever and won't quit on my clicking the
quit button; cmd-alt-esc'ing is a matter of luck (and timing)...

Any pointers? How many cgis can MacPerl take? can AppleScript take? can
WebSTAR take?

TIA,

-Johan
