I have two perl scripts (office.cgi and store.cgi) that are obviously critical to the operation of my online store. The problem is that they will quit working unexpectedly, abruptly, with no provocation whatsoever. It really puzzles me - office.cgi is working perfectly for weeks, and then one day it just wakes up and decides that it's not going to work anymore! The corresponding error usually displayed in the server log is "Premature end of script headers"

Please assist if you know how I can solve this problem and make my perl scripts more predictable/reliable.

Thanks.

Do you ever make any changes to your site that include re-uploading those scripts? Have you checked the permissions for the file when this happens as well? I'd probably suggest sending a ticket to support@lunarpages.com if this is a recurring issue, as the support team can help you better one on one with a recurring issue that needs investigation like this.

I've seen this kind of error message when a blank line was accidentally appended to the end of a shell script (Perl, PHP, etc.). As mentioned before, did you upload a script just before it stopped working? You might double check (FileManager > Show File) if there are one or more blank lines on the end of the script.
