Re: Wanting Validation for Smacking my Sysadmin (500 error problem)

Should od be bundled with Perl? It's not available from my command prompt in Dos and when I PuTTY into the server.

Google came back with some nice french poetry and a few metal fabricators :~)

od (Octal Dump) should be bundled with any unix. It is not related to perl. And in DOS (Windows) you can use FAR manager (www.rarsoft.com) to view files in HEX mode (it has a lot of nice other features). --dda	[reply]

Robartes actually got me where I needed to be, but I'm still learning so I'm going to eat your brains a little more. I opened the file with WinHex (hey, it's free!) and, sure enough, DOS file endings. How do file endings play into the compliling and execution of cgi scripts? You might have to talk over my head, but I'll understand someday ;) Thanks -Petras	[reply]
