Gary,
Thanks for the reply. Even after changing it to use the CGI module i still had a
problem but i finally figured that out. I had to hard code using libraries {
use lib "/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1";
use lib "/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux";
} (sounds like i have a config issue in linux...)
Anyway, thanks for the info on the CGI Module, that appears to be quicker, and
easier.
have a good night
