in thread Trying to track a sleeping CGI request with gdb

Yes, but gdb expects after the program name, a core dump file, or a pid.

So to pass arguments to the executable, you need to run it from within gdb as such:

$ gdb /usr/bin/perl ... .. (gdb) run /path/to/cgi-bin/script.cgi

He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
