Randy, Changing the filename to junk.cgi worked.
I definitely think that filenames *.pl are associated with something or other on my Windows 95 machine, because a little yellow ball occurs next to the filename in the explorer. But when I view filetypes in My Computer, I cannot find that little yellow ball. Does anyone know how I can search out this file association on Windows 95?
