Hi confreres,

I have a strange problem. I habe two servers running.   One with perl 5.8.0, one with 5.8.1   On both servers I run the same scripts (same CGI-version 2.93) but one script causes that the browser does not end.   The same script runs well under 5.8.0!   But maybe this is a apache problem?   In one server I use apache 1.3.23 (perl 5.8.0) in the other apache2????????? 

 ...
my $sortValue;
my $sort = $cgi->param('sort');
print "Value: \$cgi->param('sort')", $cgi->param('sort');
$sortValue = $sort - 1;  ### here is the problem in 5.8.1
exit; ### does not exit!
