RE: Why can't I use a package name under Apache::Registry - whoooohah

[bill chmura <WB...@Ensign-BickfordInd.com>]

I had tried the telnet to grab the headers already, but...  Your second 
suggestion fixed the problem nicely.  Although I do not understand why 
the exit would cause that problem.  After you said that I remebered 
reading somewhere exits were not good under mod-perl, but they should 
be caught by the Registry handler.  Does the package cause it to not be 
caught or something?

If anyone knows off-hand I would appreciate it, but things are back to 
normal here at camp confusion and I want to thank all of the 
suggestions and help given by the list.

Thanks

To see the headers, connect to the server using telnet for example:

telnet www.myservername.com 80

and then issue a request by typing for example:

GET /document.html HTTP/1.0

followed by TWO blank lines.  Tried it without that `exit' call?
