i don't think this is impossible. what exactly are you trying to do? something like: 1. user click a button/link 2. calls a CGI script 3. the CGI script does something but the result is not send back to the browser, instead it's stored somewhere in the file system. 4. the CGI script finish and a knowledge is send to the browser it would be great if you can provide what your OO Perl program does and some more detail of your problem. david -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
