This has nothing to do with Perl and everything to do with CGI programming. My guess you forgot to print the HTTP Header. You're claiming it "works" on the command line, because you saw your HTML output appear in the console window. But did you also see something that looks like: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 If not, you've forgotten to print the header. If you're using the CGI module (and if you're not, you should be), just stick this line before any of your print statements: print header; Paul Lalli -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
