http 500 error accessing remote files via perl's lwp::simple

[Guest Michael]

Hi - I'm trying to access a file via a perl script that works on windows NT

server, but it doesn't work on 2003 server. It tries to go out an d get a

file via http, retrieve & store it locally (lwp::simple mirror command).

There doesn't seem to be a problem with creating a file locally, I can do

that when I test that separately.

 

I get an HTTP 500 error. My question is this: does Win2003 server need

something specially set up to allow a call out via http like this to happen.

Of course, regular web browsing and file downloading is fine, but perhaps

this is using a different method of http or something?

 

Thanks
