What a strange error...

I have an application with a program called [mailfile.pl] which runs
under MP::Registry and is accessed via some mod_rewrites.

Today I pushed a new version from my DEV server to the WWW server using
rsync. Obviously it was working perfectly on DEV.

However the new [mailfile.pl] died with an error on WWW:

[error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of
'/srv/www/htdocs/b2b/mailfile.pl' failed
[error] Premature end of script headers: mailfile.pl, referer: http://www...

I have no idea why that is happening, and here is where things get
strange: I copied [mailfile.pl] to [mailfile2.pl] and rolled back to
the previous working version of [mailfile.pl] so now everything is back
to how it was before. Now if I make a call to [mailfile2.pl] (broken as
mailfile.pl) that works like a charm.

So to recap: [mailfile.pl] = old version, [mailfile2.pl] = new.

Both of the above work. Rename [mailfile2.pl] to [mailfile.pl] then it
dies with the above error.

Naturally this was all accompanied by generous stopping and starting of
Apache.

Has anyone come across anything like this before? Any ideas where to
start looking for a solution other than just mod_rewrite mailfile.pl
mailfile2.pl ?

Thanks!

That reminds me:

1) chmod +x mailfile.pl
2) dos2unix mailfile.pl

Re: What a strange error...

Ha ha... Yes I wondered about that too, except then why would it run as
mailfile2.pl after only: cp mailfile.pl mailfile2.pl ?

However the programmer working on that file uses Windows and so who
knows, maybe this is the solution, but not the answer...

Thanks!

Re: What a strange error...

Maybe I should have followed up instead of sending this so quickly, oh well.

Yes the Windows CR/LF was the problem. So the situation is resolved,
but I have no clue why the same file with different names was
inconsistent in execution.

Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth I guess, thanks Cosimo!

Perhaps cp removes the wrong line endings?

Anyway, you can also fix files with vi
:%s/ctrl-v ctrl-m//g

Works like a charm. I don't have dos2unix.

Another way in vi ...

Set "fileformat" to "unix":

:set ff=unix
:w

nice.

On a related note...some of our developers use the EPIC plugin in eclipse to
create/modify remote .pl and .pm files. Same issue (CR/LF) - we usually run
a clean.pl script recursively on directories on the dev server during
development/prior to generating a build. Needless to say, this gets old
quickly when trying to do rapid development/testing. Does anybody know how
to get eclipse to do the right thing using the Remote Systems perspective so
we don't have to manually run our cleanup script during development?

Thanks,

Steve
