[Ids-devel] Error with underscores

[Moshe J. <mo...@ru...>]

Hi folks,

I had an IDS page running on a Linux box for quite a while.  I moved
it to a FreeBSD box (really shouldn't make a difference), and now,
when I try to visit any album whose name contains underscores or
spaces, or contains any filenames whose names contain underscores or
spaces, I just get an internal server error, and in my logs, I get:

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at (eval 14) line 15.
[Thu Jan 15 10:40:02 2004] [error] [client 66.23.217.198] Premature end of script headers: /home/web/runslinux.net/photos/index.cgi

The album is at http://www.runslinux.net/photos/

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Moshe

Sorry, the "uninitialized value in concatenation" message is not from
IDS.  I have no other error messages that I can find...

I believe that it's a Perl error.  Look at the abovementioned line(s) 
and see if there's an expression using Perl's . operator to concatenate 
strings, ie., something like

$foo = $bar . "blah blah \n";

or $foo =. "\n";

Sorry for the flood of messages, but I found out that perl is
segfaulting:

# ./index.cgi mode=album album=./Sample%20Album
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can't figure out why.  This is too weird.

You all can ignore the previous messages. I upgraded to perl 5.8.2 and
it fixed it...
