Hi, Usually, a perl script when not set to "chmod +x" or as executable file will just be treated as an ordinary text file. This may be the reason why you get the text file instead of executing the commands inside the file. Please make sure you:
"chmod +x your_script.pl" Then try to execute first using the command line. If it doesn't work in the command line, it won't surely work in the web browser. best regards, --edwin ----------------------------------------------------------------- If Americans have atomic bombs & the Internet...
