: My sybperl code works fine on the command line but, it doesn't
: when I call it as a cgi-script from the netscape.
: The error message I've got is
: "500 Server Error, httpd: malformed header from script".
:
: Since my code is rather short, I have commented each line by line
: and find that if I comment "use Sybase::DBlib;", then
: it doesn't complain (of course it doesn't produce any result).
: This means that "use Sybase::DBlib;" was not properly processed.
: Can anyone teld me what's wrong with my code?
You need to set the SYBASE environment variable in the script:
$ENV{'SYBASE'} = '/usr/local/syb_491';
(You can set this before or after the "use Sybase::DBlib;" line, but it
must appear before the dblogin.) Otherwise, sybperl will not know
where to find the interfaces file, and won't be able to open a
connection with the server.
