Hi folks I've been using Perl and Apache for years, and have come across something bizzare. We have a system running with Apache 2 and Perl 5.9. We are using CGI::Application framework. Upto a few days ago, all STDERR print statements from the app were being written to the Apache error log. Since then, Perl warnings are written to the log but no STDERR print statements. As far as we can tell, nothing has changed. At the same time, some code in the app which was working before is now crashing. But nothing, other than warnings, is being written to the error log, so we can't work out why it's crashing. I don't think it's a coincidence that these two things have started happening at the same time. We did a reboot on the server, but that stil did not solve the problem. Like I said, I've been doing this stuff for years, but now I'm truly stuck, and I humbly ask for your help. Thx, Hamayoun
