Actually, the fact that that script prints to a browser as a cgi script would can be overcome by having a corresponding .pl script print to a file and then opening the file in a browser. The actual restriction to a web-server is likely to come from HTTP::GoogleMaps' use of the "key" parameter -- the "key" is provided by Google to people who submit the web-server they would like to use the key from. So I suppose Google validates the key sent in with each request with the location from where the request is coming from before responding to the request. --Suresh _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
