Hey, wait a minute. You're not the guy that suggested Inline::HTML. I gave you the wrong reply. Let me try again: You can't have a CGI script without a webserver. For the module you to do what he says it will do: This will launch a browser and get the user's name. Then the Perl script can go on. It will need to somehow act as a web server in order to give the launched browser something to make the initial request and submit the form to. -sam
