I am having a very hard time trying to write a cgi script in perl.
Whenever I change the code, and call it from my form, I usually find
results from an older version of the scrip, though it happens
inconistently. Obviously something is being cached somewhere.
An example of this weirdness is when I write a line, and the script
stops working. Then I coment out the line, and the script works again.
OK, so I delete the line, but the script doesn't work again. I have one
print statement that I deleted half an hour ago, but I still get its output.
Or was it something I ate?
I am running Redhat 9, apache 2.0.48 and associated perl modules, and
testing from another machine running Mozilla on Windows XP.
Thanks,
Mark

Are you possibly running the script under mod_perl?

Well, as long as you don't understand what mod_perl does (and your
original post indicates that you don't), I suppose you'd better run
the script as a plain CGI script.
Of course, you can start learning about mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/
One way to ensure that code changes take effect when running programs
under mod_perl is to restart the Apache server.

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile
it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of
different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be
compiled with threads.
Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this?
Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to
skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start
happening.

Introduction
Uploading files from a local computer to a remote web server has many useful purposes, the most obvious of which is the sharing of files. For example, you upload images to a server to share them with other people over the Internet. Perl comes ready equipped for uploading files via the CGI.pm module, which has long been a core module and allows users...

How can I make the C wrapper program secure? or "more" secure?
The Perl script, which is "-rwsr-xr-x root root" will look at the real

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
