Netware/Perl/Apache versions

Hi folks

I have a mixture of Apache 1.3 and 2.2 on my NW6SB SP5 server and Perl 5. 
Perl scripts worked on the 1.3 server but I am trying to migrate to using
them on the 2.2.
My conf files had to be amended and I downloaded Perl 5.8.4 to try and keep
up-to-date.
Unfortunately when I call a script from a browser (that accesses MySQL 4)
the server kills the address space saying:
     Removed address space because of memory protection violation
     Address Space:   PERLCGI-0
     Reason:          Page Fault, Attempt to read from non-present page
     Running Thread:  Apache_Worker 49

Can anyone give a view on the versions I'm using?  Are they compatible?
Unfortunately the installation of Perl 5.8.4 overwrote critical parts of the
previous version so I have nothing working presently.

TIA

the versions should work fine together, and from what I see you use already 
perlcgi.nlm; have you tried with a simple script if that works?
http://www.gknw.at/nwperl/perlscripts/env.txt
how have you configured perlcgi?
http://www.gknw.at/nwperl/perlscripts/perlcgi.conf

we recently found an issue with Perl and the NWSEC security stuff;
edit sys:/system/wnsec.ini and set Perl=OFF ...

Thanks for the reply Guenter

The env.pl script works from the console but gives the pageing error when
run from apache via a browser.

I don't have a wnsec.ini anywhere on sys: !  What does it look like?

sorry, was a typo - should be 'sys:/system/nwsec.ini'; and content is usually 
by default:
[Languages]
NSN=ON
Perl=ON
PHP=ON

after you have changed this file and set the ON to OFF you have to restore it 
after every SP install since it gets then ususally overwritten.

do you have any post-SP5 updates installed? it is strongly recommended to 
install NWLIB6c:
http://www.gknw.at/nwdevnet
also there's a NSS update...
