Thanks, that's what i thought. The perl script is mine so it must be the
perl interpreter kicking out the code. But I have the definitive perl
"camel" book and it doesn't list any numeric codes. i'd ask a perl forum
about where i can look up error codes but this time i solved the problem.
It was a safe_mode violation: /bin/perl was not in my safe_mode_exec_dir
directory (as defined by php.ini).
