how about giving the file an extension that cant be view by the browser without passing by the server. i'm very new to perl, but on a windows NT server, i would give the file an extension .asp. this file would apper blank to any one trying to download the file. there might be something with perl to let you do this. hope this helps Tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
