Re: a classic : 'Premature end of script headers' problem

Here's one thing to help with getting debug info right away

#!/usr/bin/perl 
# consent.cgi
BEGIN { use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; }

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use Fcntl ':flock';
# ......

# as a curiosity also.. 
my $iam = `whoami`;

open(STDERR, '>>', '/home/myself/errlog') or die($!);
warn("I am [$iam]");

Can you log into the machine via ssh?? Then..

bash # tail -f /home/myself/errlog

After that hold the shell window on one side, and run the script on the other to see the output real time

`use` already executes at the same time as `BEGIN`. So while moving CGI::Carp higher is good, there's no need to use `BEGIN`. `#!/usr/bin/perl # consent.cgi use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; use strict; use warnings; use CGI qw(:standard); use Fcntl ':flock'; ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
