Maybe not a real Perl question. But it is a Perl experience. My Perl scraping script works ok, but... It stops after 2 minutes and I am sure that the job is not finished. Scraped data is correct, but not complete. It stops right in the middle of a command line. Not always at the same spot, not after a certain number of scraped data. Just when time is up, so does it seems, the script stops. There is no error message in the server error log. Script is running at Strato GmbH server. Could it be that there is some kind of time limit for running Perl scripts on the server? Hope that somebody has the solution. Update: Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into it. Hosting provider suggests to set max_execution_time in php.ini. I don't know if that also works for Perl. For the time being I adjusted the script in such a way that the job is done in three different runs to complete the job.
