Good afternoon! I am working to configure DOSBox on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 to be started by a Perl wrapper, which is itself started by Apache2 as a CGI. Have you had any luck getting a similar configuration to run?
My specific problem is that Perl stops on line where
system("/usr/bin/dosbox")
tries to launch DOSBox. The Perl script runs fine and returns data from DOSBox outside of Apache2. Apache2 reports that it can start DOSBox outside of Perl, and that it sees the DOSBox version it receives on Standard Input. It seems tantalizingly close to working.
Thanks for your suggestions!
