Thanks in advance > Randy [ ... ] bml isn't part of a standard mod_perl distribution. From the sources at http://www.bradfitz.com/bml/, it's apparent one has to do some configuration to tell Apache what action to take with bml files. Try getting that working under standard cgi, and then from there try adapting it to mod_perl, perhaps under Apache::Registry. However, this may be difficult, as the bml handler, bmlp.pl, doesn't compile under 'use strict;', which is generally good practice to use for registry scripts.
