Perl, apache and exec

Hello folks,

I'm testing some simple perl-driven homepages on my Windows 98 home
system, using the Apache server. One of my scripts include the line:

exec "loadPart1.cgi";

Unfortunately this script never gets loaded or executed, I get the
error message (in the Apache error.log)

[Fri Oct 17 20:32:46 2003] [error] [client xx.xxx.xx.xxx] Premature
end of scrip
t headers: xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/login.cgi

The odd part is that the address localhost/cgi-bin/loadPart1.cgi works
just fine, the script gets executed and delivers the proper HTML-code,
displayed as a proper www-page in my browser.

I'm sort of stuck with this problem, so any advice would be more than
welcome. Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers,


Zup

Hi again,

Everything OK now, the command

exec "perl loadPart1.cgi";

did the trick.

Thanks for all the helpful replies ;)

Cheerz,

Zup
