Hi David - You are a star, It worked !!!! Yippee !!!! So I realise that I have to have: #!D:\Perl\bin\perl -w at the top of my perlscripts...
So if I am writing scripts on my server for the web - database access etc, do I have to use the <% and %> to embed my perl into my HTML ???? I have been learning perl using Web Space I have bought and I would like to continue writing my perl in the same manor, using: print<<"HTML"; <html>.... HTML etc... Can this be done in this fashion using perl on windows 2000 ????? Thanks a lot for your help, really really appreciated !!!!!!
