pagespank has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi there,
I'm using a bunch of scripts that use CGI::Debug to catch errors. Over the weekend, seemingly randomly this has stopped working, and now I get the following error every time I run the script:
"Your program doesn't produce ANY output!"
Yet, if I comment out the use CGI::Debug; line, it works just fine, which wasn't the case a couple of days ago. The following example is a very simplified version of what will throw up the error (and yes I am sending the CGI param when getting the error...)
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); use CGI::Debug; my $t = param("foo"); print "content-type: text/html\n\n"; print $t;
Any ideas on what might cause this to happen suddenly? I've been through the CPAN logs on the server, looked at file permissions, command logs etc, but can't find anything which would have caused this!! Any ideas greatly appreciated.
----
Update: Problem solved; it was CGI::Debug that got caught in an infinite loop over the weekend, filled up the temp directory with too many logs, then failed every time it was called after the weekend! Be warned when using CGI::Debug to check for this!!
