What web server is installed on that computer? Some web servers need to use non parsed header scripts (NPH) and I heard that this is the case with MS IIS if this is the web server.
The line break is not very important for perl scripts under Windows. I use only the Unix end of line (lf) under Windows for my perl scripts and they work fine. I don't know if they would be working the same if I will be using Mac end of lines, but with Unix end of line they work fine. I guess you should send that script to the list...

Yes, I am using the same headers as the perl program that works, so don't think it is that - I will check that there is a blank line between the 'Content-Type:...' line and the next. 2. My first line in the perl program is: #!perl -w (being a Windows-based server, it doesn't require the full path. The -w to warn of errors/mistakes etc.) I will need to wait till tonight before sending some of the perl program and header info...

Maybe Perl does. Did you ask?: use warnings; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
