Web server run both as root and nobody and no differences seen.
NCSA httpd 1.4.2 built as make netbsd.
using Freebsd 2.0.5.
perl cgi scripts fail with "500 bogus header".
csh and sh scripts work fine.
the perl scripts execute just fine from a shell prompt.
2.0.5 came with a /usr/bin/perl . Problem occurs using this version.
I built 4.036 and installed it in /usr/local/{bin,lib,). Problem still occurs.
I built NCSA httpd 1.3 and the problem occurs here as well.
what am I doing wrong.
thanks in advance,
brad
