Re: ActivePerl is crashing when running a script!

Update: I think I've found your problem: I'm using Windows 98SE, ActiveState's Perl 5.6.1 Build 631, DBI/DBD::ODBC, Xitami Webserver 2.4d9 and a Microsoft Access 2000 Database.

Don't use any of the Win9x product line for anything more than playing games. I'm not kidding. Why did MS release a server edition, known as NT? Because 95, 98 and Me are flashy, trashy games systems. If you don't believe me, ring your local MS rep and ask him. i'm sure he'll be happy to come around and "help" your boss to decide to upgrade to NT/2k.

Note: Update in separate post because the retard running our proxy server doesn't realise you can't cache POSTs. I guess here's nothing in his MCSE manuals about it. Heh.____________________

Thanks, man. I do realize this. On the company they run Windows 2000 Professional, so I'll test it there tomorrow. The problem is if it doesn't works there I'm really screwed... Thanks a lot for your effort anyway. :-) Er Galvão Abbott a.k.a. Lobo, DaWolf Webdeveloper	[reply]

More than that MS Access is a trashy excuse for a database system. I once worked for a company that wanted this same set up. Access worked fine on small simple scripts but even making the scripts longer it began to have problems. We finally gave up because it simply never worked correctly.	[reply]
