Thanks for the responses to my previous post, but everyone missed the key points. 1 - I already have a form that creates html files. All that is in the html file is one table. 2 - There are already many of the html files created. 263 at last count, and increasing every day. 3 - This

Greetings; The two most common problems are an invalid path-to-perl and invalid permissions. First, get on the command line of your server and do a which perl and see where it is on that system. The two examples you have quoted have different paths! And they both give the same results? Che
