cgi-bin changes

Perl:

If all your cgi-bin based scripts using cgi-wrap were written in perl, then you probably will not need to make any changes. The exception is if you were somehow using an atiquated copy of perl on service2 which was version 4. In which case you may experience errors running your perl4 script under perl5. In this unlikely event, please refer to the Perl web site for FAQs and other information on the differences between perl4 and perl5.

Shell (sh, ksh, or zsh):

All the same shells are available on the new machine that were on service2. However the versions and the OS behind them have changed. You may experience difficutly with some complex shell programs especially those which used ksh on service2. Fixing them will be trial and error. Your best results might be had by porting your shell programs to perl.

C, C++, or Objective-C:

If you were using code written for the HP C, C++ compilers, especially "non-ANSI" type code. You're code may require some tweaking before it will compile and run properly under GCC and FreeBSD. If you are having trouble, we can establish a re-direct to the old server until March 1, to allow you time to port your applicaitons.

Sybase:

Unfortunately we are unable to offer Sybase OpenClient libraries for either C or Perl at this time. Please contact us if you need this facility and are unable to run your scripts on another machine.
