Thanks a lot Michael. Everything works fine now.
I won't use any templating system and write plain cgi perl code. Templating systems (Mason, EmbPerl, Asp, Template toolkit, etc) are too much pain to compile on Aix 5.1 running Apache2/mod_perl2. I wasted way TOO MUCH time trying to make Mason work on Aix. Gotta like print statements!
