If you're running this perl script from your web server, htsearch may not be using the config file you think it is. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.30 If that's not the source of the problem, then try running the perl script from the command line, in which case htsearch should actually report the name of the database file it's trying to open. Have a look and make sure that file is there and is readable. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
