Yes I do have an internet connect and no I can't
answer the resolving names question since I can only
return pages stored locally or on our server.

I am looking into whether it may be a firewall
issue...since scripts are not allowed to be run on our
server, they may be blocking executable scripts from
running.

I presumed it uses a web server since it falls under
CGI scripting...I figured that it you want to run it
on the internet they you'd need a server and naturally
an internet connection.

But I am intrigued...why do you think LWP doesn't use
a webserver?
