| damog | I think it's a bit difficult (at least here, dunno exactly on other countries) for universities to update their books |
| frankg | perl -MModule::Build recognizes the module but cpan still keeps stating that X module requires Module::Build -- How can I avoid this? |
| Operator23 | I've got a CGI script, it outputs correctly on the terminal, but when accessed via a browser I get a premature end of headers/internal server error. Apache logs indicate some file/directory doesn't exist, but doesn't say which one. |
| damog | frankg: is the same @INC used on your perl invokation and the one from the cpan command line app? you mean cpan, the command line app? |
| merlyn | Operator23 - you're aware of all the ways that CGI is not like command-line, right? |
| Operator23 | Not in the least; I'm a user and don't know a damned thing about writing perl. |
| merlyn | it's not about perl it's about CGI |
| frankg | damog, how can I check INC in cpan command line? |
| merlyn | have you not done CGI before? |
| Operator23 | See, there you go. No, I didn't write this. |
| merlyn | Ahh. end-user support you should talk to your web admin not us |
| simcop2387-tv | GumbyBRAIN, i need you to need me |
| GumbyBRAIN | Maybe i need me to stop. |
| Operator23 | I don't enjoy talking to myself. I suppose at this point I should hit the apache manuals, eh? |
| merlyn | then you needed to learn more before becoming a web admin try ##apache |
| Operator23 | I'm screwing around with a home box is all. |
| merlyn | or ##cgi |
| Operator23 | Thanks for the tip. |
| damog | frankg: how did you managed to install cpan and perl? s/ged/ge/; |
| frankg | damog, install perl from source - cpan came with perl |
| crunge | I wonder if it just wasn't printing "Content-type: text/html\n\n" |
| frankg | damog, phone call - brb in a few |
| merlyn | proably a lot more for example, this doesn't work: print "content-type: text/plain\n\n"; system "date"; although it appears to work from the command-line when used as CGI, the buffering comes into play, and the date comes out before the header of course, piping the program through | cat would have shown that these are the things that CGI is tricky about |
