Jimmy,

1. correct date and time on your computer, please!

2. I am a newbie with Perl and I have no idea what this 'print qq~'
stuff is all about but I will do my best:

I understand that the HTML page generated by the cgi-script on the fly
is not recognized as http stream/HTML file by Netscape rather than a
cgi-script http://www.yourdomain.com/foo.cgi is displayed as text
instead of being executed by the server.

Therefore, the MIME type sent by the server with the script output is
not 'text/html' but something else (default?) which IE interprets as
HTML and Netscape displays as text. Undoubtedly, you did not forget the line

        'print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";'

or typed something wrong in it, did you?

Does this problem occur with every Netscape client and with no IE? I
don't know Netscape Navigator inside (who does?) but it *may* be that
the entry in the preferences what to do with MIME type 'text/html' is
just missing for some reason and that normal HTML pages with file name
endings like '.htm' or '.html' are interpreted as HTML for their name
not for the MIME type sent by the server so that this "instance of a
Netscape Navigator object" behaves normally with normal HTML.

Cheers

Stephan
