Perl 5.8.x & Apache-ASP Problems

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to this list. I have looked high
and low for a solution, but found none.

I am having an issue setting up Apache-ASP with Perl
5.8.x.

Until now, we used Perl 5.6.x without any problems. 
But now we decided to make the move to Perl 5.8.x and
started R&D-ing it.  

The install is on a base RH Fedora or RHE3 box.  The
packages installed are the latest of Apache 1.3.x,
mod_perl, Apache::ASP, DBI, DBD and ApacheDBI.

For instance, I have a page that would upload a gif to
the website, but seems like the form's enctype
property is broken.

I wonder if others have had a similar problem.

I apologize in advance if I have not given enough
information to go on.  But the truth is i have tried
to fix it myself and been unsuccessful ==> so i do not
have many leads to go on.

Please feel free to ask me for any diagnostic
information, and i will provide it gladly.

Regards,
Ballay.

It sounds like you moved a working solution from RH9 or earlier.  I've 
done something similar, and it didn't give me any problems.  Perhaps the 
problem lies in your code.

Are you sure it isn't 2.0.x?

My program does that as well, and I just tested it the other day on a 
Fedora Core 2 system.  The only tricky bit is making sure the upload 
directory is writable by apache.  Other than that, I used code ripped 
almost verbatim from the Apache::ASP and CGI.pm examples.

In what way?

Besides Warren's good points, consider also that your newer version
of CGI.pm might be broken with respect to Apache::ASP.  Please read:

   http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html#File%20Upload

for more on this topic.

Josh
