Hi,<br>
<br>
I had a similar problem when movin or old gnats/gnatsweb to a newly
comfigured computer.<br>
I think the problem is gnatsweb.pl. It is very sensitive to the version
of the CGI.pm perl module.<br>
First i had similar, broken url's, but after we reverted to CGI.pm
version 2.68, everything was fine again.<br>
<br>
Actually, you can also try to set the -oldstyle_urls pragma of the CPI
module.<br>
- open gnatsweb.pl<br>
- change the parameters of the second "use cgi" statemanet to "use CGI
2.56 qw/-oldstyle_urls -nosticky/;"<br>
afterwards, the&nbsp; whole block looks similar to this:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"># end customization<br>
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
  <br>
# Use CGI::Carp first, so that fatal errors come to the browser,
including<br>
# those caused by old versions of CGI.pm.<br>
#use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;<br>
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);<br>
# 8/22/99 kenstir: CGI.pm-2.50's file upload is broken.<br>
# 9/19/99 kenstir: CGI.pm-2.55's file upload is broken.<br>
use CGI 2.56 qw/<b>-oldstyle_urls </b>-nosticky -no_xhtml/;<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
The gnatsweb README says:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Perl 5, with the fine CGI.pm module,
version 2.56 or newer.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Note that the unofficial 3.x versions of CGI.pm have been<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; reported not to work. There has been trouble reported with a<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; version of perl prior to 5.004_04.<br>

best wishes,<br>
<br>

Wow, that's one crazy URL.  Not sure what's going on there.  You're
welcome to a copy of my local site configuration pl file.  I'll try to
get it to you later tonight.
