Hi all,

I am trying Apache with the Perl module to run to test the page-loading
speed of Mozilla on my Gentoo system. My end goal is to use the perl cgi
scripts that can be downloaded from the Mozilla CVS under
"mozilla/tools/page-loader/".

I have installed all relevant perl modules:
LWP::UserAgent, version: 2.003
SQL::Statement, version: 1.005 X
Text::CSV_XS, version: 0.23
DBD::CSV, version: 0.2002 X
DBI, version: 1.37
Time::HiRes, version: 1.52
CGI::Request, version: 2.75 T
URI, version: 1.28
MIME::Base64, version: 2.21
HTML::Parser, version: 3.28
HTML::Tagset, version: 3.03
Digest::MD5, version: 2.30
I could not find three packages in the Gentoo portage, so I installed
them using perl -MCPAN -e "install <package>" (the ones with "X") or
from a tarball (with "T"). Otherwise I have
libperl-5.8.2
perl-5.8.2-r1
mod_perl-1.27-r4
libwww-perl-5.69-r2
and
apache-1.3.28

mod_perl seems to be running because I can run the first part of the
script (called as http://localhost/cgi-bin/page-loader/loader.pl). But
when I submit the form that this script creates, I get a lot of error
messages in the browser window (see below). I have no idea where to
start investigating the cause. Because this is on Gentoo I start to post
here before doing a wide crosspost...

Any hints?

Cheers,
Peter.
