We don't know that for sure just yet... it *could be* a DOS line ending problem, but it *could be* a multiple perl version issue. We still haven't heard back from Ovid on whether any of the suggestions mentioned solves the problem.

Basically, he needs to use "od -c somescript.cgi" to see if the first line shows a \r on the first line of the script, and he needs to try running from the command line both "/usr/bin/perl somescript.cgi" and "/usr/local/bin/perl somescript.cgi" to make sure they both produce the same results.

In any the case, lets not get jumpy about it. All the suggestions so far are good ones.
