    Murcia,

    Please do not use pre tags when posting (see Perl Monks Approved HTML tags and Writeup Formatting Tips).
    Without posting any code, which you have failed to do so far, how can anyone help?
    As tirwhan has pointed out, it could be a great number of things. So why not start by showing us what you can provide (your code) rather than keep telling us what you can not provide (No Error messages etc). tirwhan has also suggested putting some logging / debug code into your script. Have you done this?

    I have checked your home node, you are not new here and should know the ropes by now. If you need to remind yourself please read How do I post a question effectively? for advice.

    Martin

    3) error running on WindowsXP/IIS Perl 5.7.3

    Perl 5.7.3 is not a production release, so its is hardly surprising you are experiencing problems. Currently perl is at 5.8.8 with the development version being 5.9.3 (or is it 5.9.4?) so 5.7.3 is pretty old, and most likely unstable. Unless you are experimenting you should not be using any odd numbered minor release (the second number) higher than 6. Upgrade to a production worth release like 5.8.8 and no doubt this problem will go away.

    Also, youll find that if you adjust your approach youll get better responses, we generally dislike people calling Perl "PERL" and asking such a vague question isnt going to get you far. By providing the minimal additional information you did here I was able to identify the cause of your problem. Doing so in the first place would have saved you and others from wasted time.

      He's not running 5.7.3 on Windows. That has to be some bizarre typo. The original post said he was running 5.8.7 (which makes perfect sense).

      duff

        OTOH, using 5.7.3 would explain the problems. Whatever. :-)
