View Full Version : Perl Scripts stopped working

We migrated servers over the weekend and our Perl scripts have stopped working, not completely, just properly.

I've looked through the IIS settings (using Windows Server 2003/IIS 6.0), but everything looks okay. The only other difference I can see between the two servers is the Perl version. On the old server, we were using 5.8.7 on the new, it's 5.8.8.

I've run a test Perl script from the cgi-bin in the browser, and it works. Just the typical "Hello World" script.

The other script is supposed to validate a user. The script loads, but once the user enters his/her code, a 403 error is returned. The script uses a post function, but the action is the same script itself.

Any insight I could get would be appreciated,

Thanks.

It does seem to be a permission problem...all post requests are forbidden...try fiddling around the site configuration

I even took the server "offline" and allowed the IUSR full control over the cgi-bin, but the same error occurred...

I'm not saying it's NOT a permissions issue, I'm just curious as to what it could be...
