[MacPerl] Is there a problem with MacPerl's CGI extension file?

[Stˇphane Jose <stephane.jose@sympatico.ca>]

I have written a cgi script that creates a form based on the data contained
in a  text file db. This script partly relies on CGI.pm and everything
seems to work fine in off line mode both from BBEdit (through the Perl
BBEdit extensions) and directly from MacPerl.

I also made sure that the script generates the proper mime header before
printing the HTML page.

Problems occur once the script is saved as a cgi applet. When I use the cgi
applet with Webstar 2.0 it returns the following error:

Error -1700: Getting CGIreply string (Reply Data could not be coerced to
requested type (char))
Error executing CGI application.
07/03/98	12:45:16	OK
	192.168.0.2:exulon:cgi-bin:invent:invent.cgi	0


Netscape Communicator 4.0 gets 'Error! Unable to execute the requested CGI
application.' and returns the dialog 'Document contains no data'

The version of MacPerl is 5.2.0r4, CGI.pm is the one included with the release.
I have allocated Mac Perl and WebStar about 12MB of RAM each.

Is there be a problem with MacPerl's CGI extension file that I am not aware of?

Any hint will be greatly appreciated?
