I am trying to set up this trouble ticket system and it's driving me nuts!!! I have checked, rechecked, then checked againe to ensure that variables and permissions are set correctly. In fact, with each script/library included in this package, I ran

perl -cw script-nameand aside from the "filehandle used only once" warnings I get because the person who wrote this didn't "use strict", or -w, each component passes syntax check.

Additionally, I can run the code by hand, redirect the output to an html doc, and bring it up in my browser, no problem.

For brevity's sake, I am not posting 283 lines of code, but follow the link above, and you'll find the packacge I am referring to. The specific file that is causing me problems is index.cgi. My Apache error log says,

[Fri Jun 29 21:47:17 2001] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec +of /var/www/cgi-bin/index.cgi failed [Fri Jun 29 21:47:17 2001] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of + script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/index.cgi
HEELLLLPPPP!!!!
