  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Cached Perl Modules cause big trouble

Hi folks.

Currently a very strange thing happens on my system. (Suse9.3/Plesk7.5.4/Apache2)

I have some self written Perl modules installed in the /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/MyMods and when I use some functions from these modules I encounter cached values in some variables as well as chached module versions.

Example: I use a script with at least two URL parameters (via GET) and I resolve them in my script via the CGI module.
After refreshing the page a couple of times I delete one of the parameters and refresh the page in my browser. sporadically I still receive my old values.

Example 2:
In my modules I have a function bla( ); that does nothing but printing out some values. If I add a line for example printing out "hello world" Ireceive after refreshing my browser "hello world". When I erase this "hello world" line in my module and I press refresh .. I still get "Hellor world".
After approx 30-40 seconds I receive the updated values .. and sporadically the old ones. Using a fresh Browser window doesnt help. After approx 2-3 min I always receive the actual printout.

??????
Btw. this is not a browser issue. I tried all settings and different browsers as well. Oh .. and I display a timecode.

I'm a bit confused and currently I have no clue where I could fix this problem.
Somehow it seems that the per modules are cached.

Ok, thanks for dealing with my problems.
I hope anyone has a solution .. or at least a hint.

All the best,

Marco
