John (and everyone else who helped),
Thanxs!
changedthe .pl to .cgi and it worked like a champ, wonder how my other .pl
(cgi's) in the same
directory are working :(
also this .pl requires a -w to perl, but the others dont *boggle*

Two things:
You might want to rename it from .pl to .cgi. Sometimes
that helps. I *think* Apache is only set up (by default) to
execute scripts with a .cgi extension and so you just
rename the .pl script to .cgi and it should work.
Also, I noticed that in your statement above you have
"tfc_bandwidth,pl" which *should* be "tfc_bandwidth.pl". I
hope that was just a typo when you were typing it in,
'cause a comma is NOT the same as a period. :-)
