in reply to Getting random "Internal Server Errors"

I don't think the browser makes up the error. So there is something wrong going on the server side. Unfortunately, without logged messages it is hard to say what it might be.

Are you sure that error logging is fine? Try running a simple perl script as CGI which just dies as look at the log. If there is still nothing in there, I'd suspect wrong (or against your expectations) Apache configuration.

    I agree with you. I'm sure the browser doesn't make stuff up... ;)
    Error logging works. I tried that by adding faulty stuff to the script and the stuff really shows up within the log.
    I somehow get the feeling it's got to do something with the interaction prototype<->perl script. If i run the perl script directly off the command line with the several POST arguments as cl-arguments, i get no errors at all. It always shows the expected behaviour.
    Has anybody of you ever worked with prototype and perl and knows where this error could come from?
