PERL script dies before it gets the chance to finish?

Question

I built a perl script that takes care of html multipart file uploads. When I press the stop button in firefox, the script continues for a bit, does what it has to do, and stops. But hen I press the stop button in explorer, the script exits immediately. Any ideea why this is happening and how can I solve it / trap the exit?? Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It sounds like maybe IE aborts the file upload, possibly meaning that the script never even gets called. Since you have stopped your browser from getting anything from the script, you'll have to have your script write a log of its activities, if any, to a file on the server. And, why are you pressing the stop button?
