Very interesting indeed. I tried using the whole path (with my own name of course) and it worked! I got a populated QUERY_STRING and some debugging stuff I added at the bottom using the CGI perl module started working too. I originally was using just 'cgi-bin/printenv?blabla' without the tick marks and I found the script ok but I had the problems previously noted. I thought the cgi-path was supposed to help without having to spell out the entire path of the original script. May that path comes in if I specify the name on a form action attribute or something. Anyway, this answer from you gets me past this herdle. Now on to some real CGI programming:). I messed with php some before but the neet thing about this CGI deal is I can run some full screen apps without having to run the apache server on this box and I don't have to master curses or any of that; just some good ol' simple console apps with workable forms. Gee, I could maybe even slip in some javascript:). But then again, I don't know javascript yet:). Anyhow, thanks again for the reply; this may do the trick. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEl1tSWSjv55S0LfERA3gWAKCkEGlaydRTfwEw0fHpiSyRg3iPkQCfVXv4 jTZz/dyvxEli4v35iXZuCDE= =CjEM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
