in reply to Script running OK, re-loaded with no changes, then won't run uintil -w switch added.

So, I wondering what could there be in the setup of Perl or the server that would allow a year old script to run just fine, then stop it from running when re-uploaded with no changes, then allow it to run with the addition of the "-w" switch??
The error log would've told you, but your webserver can't find the program indicated on the shebang. Why? Because of line endings (you didn't upload in ASCII mode).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
