If you have a CGI script that normally receives data from a form, when you run it from the command line you have to have some way of getting into it the data that the user would normally supply via the form's controls. You're seeing something like this: [mo@server1 dmg]$ perl yourscript.pl (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input) then you just enter into it data like this: [mo@server1 dmg]$ perl bugreport.pl (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input) name1=value1 name2=value2 where value1, value2 are the values to which you would have set controls name1, name2. Then hit ctrl-D when you've entered all the pairs you need. There's more on this in the documentation for the CGI module. best, Mo Mo Holkar Undying King Games [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ukg.co.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
