By "worked for me from the command line" do mean: 1) Set the environment variable within the script as in the example I gave and invoked the script from the command line, or 2) set the environment variable in the shell and then invoke the script? These are completely different. > The best explanation I could find for this was here: > > http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=126575 This talks about the second case. Yes, that's entirely possible (doesn't seem to be the case on linux, though), but it doesn't have anything to do with CGI scripts. I don't believe that that the first case is possible on any unixoid OS. hp -- _ | Peter J.
