[plug] Perl cgi scripts

[Anne Busby]

Some details.

Postgres Version: PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 
egcs-2.91.66
( all software from the RedHat 6.2 CD )

Error Message from apache error_log:
[Wed May  2 18:51:44 2001] [error] (26)Text file busy: exec of 
/home/project/anne/project/kbs_list.cgi failed
[Wed May  2 18:51:46 2001] [error] [client 192.168.1.32] Premature end of 
script headers: /home/project/anne/project/kbs_list.cgi

Print Line:	print 'dddd';

Script:

Interface to the database:	use Pg;

I added the 'print line' under the '#! /usr/bin/perl -w' line at the top of 
the script, saved the script - reloaded it and it ran. Removed the print 
line and it still runs. For a change all the other scripts that get called 
after the first script worked OK.

I hope this helps you. Also, if any one sees something that I am not doing 
right or a better way of writing these scripts, let me know. This is the 
first perl programmming and the first cgi programming I have ever done.

Thanks,
Anne Busby
