I remember reading recently that someone was having problems with ENV values not be accessable. It went something like, accessing the ENV values as an Array like: foreach $parm (sort keys %ENV) { print ($parm, " = ", $ENV{$parm}); } yielded no output. but if the values are accessed directly like: print $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'}; the value would appear and also would make the referenced value appear in the %ENV array. Does this ring a bell with anyone? What was the resolution? I am having the same problem with a script that was working but now suffers from the hidden %ENV problem. Using 5.1.3r2 on PPC. I tried the mailing list archive but it does not appear to be up-to-date with recent posts and as I recall, it was a fairly recent posting. Later, Scott Weaver sweaver@bluenova.com
