I had tried the telnet to grab the headers already, but... Your second suggestion fixed the problem nicely. Although I do not understand why the exit would cause that problem. After you said that I remebered reading somewhere exits were not good under mod-perl, but they should be caught by the Registry handler. Does the package cause it to not be caught or something? If anyone knows off-hand I would appreciate it, but things are back to normal here at camp confusion and I want to thank all of the suggestions and help given by the list.

Tried it without that `exit' call? 73, Ged.
