burra_ramakanth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks!!!, I am new to PERL Scritping. One of my application contains a perl script which gets processed after hitting on SUBMIT button in an application form. Initially the application is on 'SERVER A' which is tied to Iplanet Server, when I hit on Submit button without filling the form then dynamic validation messages are successfully displayed.Now I copied the same application to 'SERVER B' where this server is tied to APACHE,when I hit the submit button without filling the same form in this server B it is displayed with a blank screen instead of Validation messages. How does the validation messages are generated dynamically? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.. Regards, Ramakanth

      wlErrorMail(\%FDG, $error);

      die(wlErrorPage($error));---- Line number 190

      }

      }

      Let me know if you need further more information..... Regards Ramakanth

        Now you know where to start debugging, you should investigate what wlErrorPage does, or why it behaves differently on the two servers. I advised you to read quite a few links, please do so. Also post formatting guidelines are displayed when you compose and again when you preview a post, please don't ignore them.
