Elliot Rusty Harold: Much Respect Is Due

I had a problem with a Perl script that was returning:

127 CGI returned nonzero status
/usr/bin/nice:
/kunden/homepages/[omitted]/cgi-bin/quickregister/scripts/login.cgi:
No such file or directory
STDOUT OK STDERR OK

I looked and looked, but could not find any problems. All the files I was calling were in that directory, but I hard coded paths anyhow, and still got the same problem. I even went so far as to take the functions I was referencing from the referrenced files and put them in the callling script so that I wasn't calling any external files. Still got a No Such File or Directory error. WTF??

Enter Elliot.

In his supreme prescience, Elliot made this very nice post to point out what an idiot I was going to be several months in the future. He did this so it could get indexed by Google in plenty of time for me to be able to find it. Very wise on his part, else I would have still been stuck banging my head on my keyboard. Anyhow, Elliot points out in this post that if you don't use a Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF) and just use a carriage return (CR) after your shebang line (that's the #!usr/bin/perl that starts every perl file), perl may get confused about what your asking and crap out.

In disbelief I tried his fix. IT WORKED! There is no way it could/should be that simple, right? My masculinity is still secure even if I only used CRs, right? So now Elliot, I bestow upon you a beautifully keyword rich link:

Elliot Rusty Harold is THE Perl-God. I Shall seek his help for all future Perl projects.

Make Your Index Template Different Than Your Other Pages If you look at a site like Top Ten MBA (not one of mine by the way), and then look at one of its inner pages, you'll see that the index page has a large section of text that does not show up on the inner pages of the site. This gives the illusion of having content that only shows on the index page.This is a great trick, and this article is meant to be a sample of how it is done. You see, I have checked the "Your HTML" box on Add New Page, and these paragraphs are being typed into the Summary Description box.
