i was having a similar problem and i came to this mailing list to seek help. many people did suggest different things, and i am very thankful to those who made efforts. But, finally my problem is still unsolved. I had tried exactly the same as u did on ME and NT workstation. The only difference was that i used only .cgi and .pl extensions. When i open the script in my browser, it shows in the statusbar, the page been downloading. But that continues for ever and never shows the output/and no errors even. Now i will try the other 2 extensions too as u say. Sorry but i cannot be of any help to u. Nitesh
