Tomcat - PERL problem.

Dear all,
I'm currently having this strange problem with Tomcat 4.0.3 (running on
Solaris) and a CGI program written in PERL.

The program outputs some HTML lines, and everything  goes OK until the HTML
page is small.
When the page grows up, i.e inserting "SELECT" field with 100 options,
Tomcat stops responding.

The UNIX ps command shows:

user1 12838 12310  0 16:14:45 pts/5    0:00 /usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps/my_app/WEB-INF/
user1 12464 12310  0 14:34:56 pts/5    0:00 /usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps/my_app/WEB-INF/
....

Those processes don't stop running until killed.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Tito.

Re: Tomcat - PERL problem.

Without seeing the code that is running forever, it's almost impossible
to tell. I have seen the running forever if you call perl without a
script name on the command line. When called without a script, the perl
executable waits for the script on STDIN.
