Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Perl Monks

I have setup an online form in Perl which is called over SSL - but every so often (maybe 1 in 10) it returns a page cannot be found error - I was wondering if Im doing something wrong in my perl file, it is printing a content type: text/html header, should this be something else under an SSL connection?

Thanks in advance for any help

    "Page cannot be found" (Error 404) is a webserverism - that is, the webserver cannot find the file/cgi. At this point, it is unlikely that Perl has been invoked, and hence it's probably not a CGI-related problem.

    Might be worth checking with the hosting provider/sysadmin - they're not running IIS by any chance, are they?
