I read the FAQ concerning, "The crypt() function is unimplemented due to excessive paranoia." on NT, and it says to make sure to get ActiveState Perl.

I contacted the ISP owner, and they do have ActiveState Perl version 5.00402 installed, yet we still get a crypt problem. What version is neccessary in solve this crypt problem ? Or is there something else they need to do ?

Thanks!

crypt() works for me on

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Debug Information
Script Location : d:/Web/fasttrack/scripts/dbman/db.pl
Perl Version : 5.00502

When you say a crypt() problem, what do you mean?

Do you get the error saying crypt() unimplemented due to excessive paranoia? Or do you have some other problems..

Yes Alex, excessive paranoia.

I think your ISP is mistaken and they have the binary build of perl 5.004, not Activestate's port. To my knowledge, crypt() has always worked with Activestate's port of perl.

Try running the following script:

$|++;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Perl Version info: \n";
print `perl -V`;

and see what it says. Should say Activestate port if it was done by activestate.

Cheers,

Alex
