basically, what it does, is it reads info, and supposed to output so the user can download the data it's just output, webserver does support scripts, it outputs the correct data, but my goal is to be able to get the "download file" window up, and be able to store a "servers.ini" file from the data the perl script outputs.
Dan "Dan Muey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] com... Not really sure what you're problem/goal is but if the script's code shows up in the browser or it wants to download the script, Then your webserver doesn't do .pl extensions. Try .cgi as the extension. Also make sure it's executable. If it a problem writing files try : File::Slurp If you're trying to write a file on a remote server try Net::FTP Or SOAP::Lite See http://search.cpan.org for those modules.
