using Perl module in CGI script Can't Post
Hi,

In my cgi script i use two perl modules, i include them first:

Quote


use lib "../include/";
use Personeel;
use Loginnaam;
When i use this module later on in the program:

Quote
$TotNames = Personeel::pers_mail($mailadres); $loginnaam = Loginnaam::Login(lc($voorletters),lc($tussen),lc($achternaam));

it gives the results i want, a unique e-mail addres and a uniqe loginname are created(the modules make the e-mail address and a loginname and check if they exist in an LDAP server). But i keep getting an error:

Quote


The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.


A declaration was not closed. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Mikdt/Local Settings/Temp/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/8DIRC1M7/index[3]'. Line 1, Position 1 <

I do not get this error when i skip the use of both the modules. So i am quite sure it is these that are causing the problem.. but why?? If i leave out the use of these modules, it displays the next page without any problems.

Any ideas?

Tine

Sounds like your browser is getting a little confused about the content type of the data returned. Is it supposed to be returning XML? What content type header are you displaying?

Have you tried running the program from the command line and just seeing what output you get?

Oh, and please learn how to export functions from your modules. It will make your code look much cleaner.

The strange thing is that the source code is right! If i just save it and open it again in a browser, it shows the correct page... there are no missing declarations.. As i said, i can leave out using the modules, and the page is shown correctly.

i will learn to export functions from modules, thanks for the tip!
