apache .pl - files problem


Hello!

I got a strange Apache problem:

We have OTRS running on Apache and the pl-Files sometimes do not what to show, but are offered to download, as if the pl-Module does not interpret the pl-files.

What can that be ?

As 95% of the time OTRS and it`s pl-Files work fine, I can not imagine any config error.

Must be some sort of bug ?

When the file is offered to download, you can klick abort an the press F5 and the page will show up correctly.

Sounds like it's checking for updates every time. I bet there's a setting or variable to control that

"PISS_OFF_UPDATING=true" program

Let me put it the way I should have the first time. Some perl scripts seem to check for the latest version of themselves, and there will be code in them to do this. If they find a later version, they update and tell themselves not to bother checking again. It's that option or environment variable you want, more probably

perl_script --no-update

but perl_script --help might just give it to you if you are lucky.

Ok, now i can follow you !

Well, as it does not happen with the window$ version of firefox I think it has nothing to do with pl ?!

What do you think ?

( never the less I will give your idea a try, as i really do not want to install win ;-) )

On a scale of 1-10, perl scripts updating themselves are a small niusance. All you need to do is automate that, or no updates, or anything. windows does exactly what it likes without asking you, so that isn't a fair comparison, although it might be a business alternative. The update thing shouold not happen more than once a day.
