Eric, I'm sorry, I never actually managed to get any stylesheets to work with my cgi scripts. The scripts that did work are just simple HTML. I'm using Apache 2.2.8 on a Mac OS X 10.4.11 system. When I get home I'll definitely look up the log file and paste it here. I'll also have to fool around with the permissions and httpd.conf file.
I did look into CGI tutorials, but they didn't use Python code. They used something like: start_html(-title => $title, -head => style({type => 'text/css'} ) Thanks for the suggestions though.
