Is this script running as a cron or through the command line? If not then you need to set the content type declaration - i.e. #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; $query = new CGI; print $query->header; print "Hello World"; #ship.cgi ( or instead of using CGI use [ the CGI library is a standard part of

Sounds like the issue might be your resume. (Sorry, CV for those non-Americans!) Why don't you post it (or you can e-mail it to me privately) and get some feedback? Riva Matthew Macdonald-Wallace wrote: It's the "getting to interview" stage that I have issues with. :) • The WDVL Di
