Hi,

I've had a cgi script sending e-mails for a couple of years now with no problem, until yesterday. I have multiple scripts actually and none of them are working now which tends top make me believe that it's either a permissions issue or the scripts can't find Perl.exe
I receive the error:

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I've checked the permisisons on the cgi-bin folder and everything looks good there, so I'm wondering if there's a good test to see if Perl is available. I've done perl -v from a command line and I receive the message:

This is Perl 5.8.4 etc.......

Any ideas on my next step for testing?

Also, I've moved the cgi file to another folder and receive the same error. I've also tried a backup copy of the file.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Lonnie

1. Has your server admin upgraded/installed a new version of perl in a new PATH
2. Any setuid changes ?
3. Any Apache configuration changes ?
