Re: Oracle Web server & Perl

did you check if your perl-prg returns
a) really some output
b) your output has a mime-header?

i have not worked with perl on OWAS yet, but when i developed some java-cartridges and i dumped into the problem that the webserver returned no data or the browser culdn't read the data correctly (tried to save it to disk as an .exe file (on NT) -- that means the WS-output wos encoded as application/octet-stream !!!!) the solution was that i had to set the mime-typ text-html on the beginning of every output!!
