cgi script works until n+1 parameter

Hello dear Monks

the script is structured :


if ( $mode eq 'draft') {

  #display an editable draft
}
elsif ( $mode eq 'preview' ) {

  #preview 
}
elsif ( $mode eq 'create' ) {

  my $param_cnt = 0; # number of lines of the output

  print h2( "DEBUG 0 " );

  foreach ( param() ) {
    
    $param_cnt++ if ( $_ =~ /concerne/ );
  }

  print h2( "DEBUG 1 : $param_cnt" );

  # goes on
}

[download]

I'm on win32 apache2.2.8 activestate 5.8.8

the script works until $param_cnt = 120 and then hangs between 'DEBUG 0' and 'DEBUG 1'

I first thought about something like 'MaxParamLenght' but the parameters first go through ( $mode eq 'draft ), then through ( $mode eq 'preview' ).

Any idea ?

Have a nice day.

I can only assume that `param` and `h2` are from the `CGI` module. Is this correct? Are you seeing these results in the browser, or from the command line? If from the command line, do you have buffering turned off? If you do not have buffering turned on or are looking at this through the browser, you may be getting a skewed view of where the problem is. Search for "suffering from buffering". --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi MidLifeXis, Yes I'm using cgi, I see this in the browser and am not suffering from buffering. The 2 previous 'functions', 'draft' and 'preview' work with no problem with more lines ( bigger $param_cnt), params and output. Have a nice day.

* Does it show the same problem if you use the CGI module entirely through its $obj-> interface? * If you replace use CGI by use CGI::Simple, will the error go away? * What about Apache's URI length limit (2/4 K?) Regards mwa	[reply]

little albert One problem with simplifying a bit of code to try to make the problem easier to find is that unless it's a working example, it's hard to tell if the problem actually exists in the code presented. In this case, I don't see anything that could cause that behavior. Sorry... ...roboticus	[reply]

Hi mwah and roboticus, I found that the script hangs after my 'DEBUG 1' !?! How can this happen ? Have a nice day "There is only one good, namely knowledge, and only one evil, namely ignorance." Socrates	[reply]

lepetitalbert: Considering that the only code you show after the 'DEBUG 1' is a comment and closing brace, I'm going to have to guess that the problem lies elsewhere in your code. We can't diagnose what we can't see. ...roboticus	[reply]
