Thanks, Eric for taking a look at this.
I had earlier tried that, when I do this:
my $trick_my_box_script;
my $base_path = '/home/hesco/sandbox/EC2';
my $build_script = 'build_server.sh';
open('USER_DATA','<',"$base_path/$build_script") or die "Unable to ope
+n $base_path/$build_script: $! \n";
while(<USER_DATA>){ $trick_my_box_script .= $_; }
close(USER_DATA);
my $user_data = encode_base64($trick_my_box_script);
Then I get errors which look like this:
hesco@marcus8:~/sandbox/EC2$ time perl ec2_faxserver.pl
$VAR1 = bless( {
'errors' => [
bless( {
'message' => '500 read failed: Connection reset by peer',
'code' => 'HTTP POST FAILURE'
}, 'Net::Amazon::EC2::Error' )
],
'request_id' => 'N/A'
}, 'Net::Amazon::EC2::Errors' );
That shell script is only 7.2k, well within the 16k limit. Any idea why it would be rejected like this?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
