I couldn't agree anymore that there is no reason not to call pre-built module. About the debugging: Maybe I am not doing right, I do hope ther is a more ideal way to debug web programming. I will take a good look at the site you mentioned. I read another email asking about emulating browser. If it can be done, then it will be a much efficient way to debug. Have fun! Mike Mike - If I'm reading your requirements right - I don't find debugging hard with CGI.pm. Granted I'm a real newbie and I'm not doing anything earth shakingly difficult, but still. You run the program from the command line to make sure it actually runs - you can pass your param's in from the command line - and if it spits out HTML you call it again from your browser....
