I'm happy to share them, if you'll let me know what I should be looking for! The Perl errors are coming to the browser because I'm using CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser). > The browser may be returning information to the server in a way that causes > these errors I think this is surely the issue, given that it works fine in some browsers but not in others.

I don't think the problem is with the code, because the validation sub untaints the data by matching it against a regex and Perl accepts this when the code runs under Mozilla and Safari. > Use Perl.

FYI, we're running Perl 5.004_04. Server is iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0. Thanks again for your help.
