Wise Monks,

I have a small cgi script that takes input in the form of a URL. Does anyone know why I would be getting the following error sporadicly, only with some input (URL) and not with others?

[Sun Feb 13 16:11:56 2005] [error] [client 1.1.0.218] Premature end of
+ script headers: /var/www/fd/fd.cgi
Can't locate object method "host" via package "URI::_generic" (perhaps
+ you forgot to load "URI::_generic"?) at /usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Cookie
+s.pm line 682.

It happens only sometimes with some input that is given to it. I know that this question has been asked before but I really don't think that I have misformed urls. I can input some and the script runs fine and with others it does not. It usually gives me no problems.

I found the following link: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/ports/0409/msg00839.html and it talks about patching URI on openbsd. Is there a patch that I can apply? Does it need it? This says it fixes the behavior that I am seeing. I am still very new to perl and modules can be a bit perplexing. Is there a better way to debug what is going on within my script? The output that apache gives me is not super helpful.

I appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks in advance,
