Hello, Me again (sorry), i did as was suggested to get rid of the CGI.pm debug messages in the Apache Server. I changed NO_DEBUG to 1 and the (offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input) all went away. Thats the good news. The strange news is that now, however, it doesnt seem to recieve the post data. I am using CGI::param to get the input from the previously posted form, which is the typical <FORM action="/bleh/bleh.pl">. All .pl files are set to be executed by mod_perl (not the safest thing i know but its a development server more than production). There is nothing going on. I downgraded to CGI.pm 2.46 and with NO_DEBUG on, it works, it gets the data posted to the other cgi. With 2.752 in any state, no show. I would like to think I know how to program in perl and Apache, if not mod_perl, but i dont see why this should be happening. As usual, Apache 1.3.17, mod_perl 1.25, FreeBSD 4.2-Stable, CGI.pm 2.752 and PostgreSQL 7.0.3 with Perl 5.005 Anything you think i could be doing 'obviously' wrong ? Many thanks, Stefs
