I asked yesterday about the CGI that was failing to escape. Now I've got a new interesting problem. Background: I know this code works on Linux, I've been running it for months.

I have a piece of code that says: 

print some_sub($variables);

[download]
I've put logging statements around it, since I can see it work from the debugger, but the webserver just hangs. Well, those statements point to the fact that when the sub calls: 
return ($variable);

[download]
Nothing happens.

I've since upgraded the CGI to 2.53 in order to match the other server's configuration. perl -v = 5.005_02.

Thanks for any help,
Mike
