Thanks, all, for your replies! But... It still ain't workin'. The latest round of tries, with newer (but similar) code supplied by yourselves, still comes up with a big blank! So now I'm going to show you the code ;-) for the purposes of our mutual edification! test-cgi.cgi: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!:bin:MacPerl ƒ:perl -w $| = 1; print "Content-type: text/plain", "\n\n"; foreach $key (sort keys %ENV ) { print $key, " = ", $ENV{$key}, "\n"; } exit (0); #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- test.shtml: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <html> <head> <Title>Test</title> </head> <Body> This is a test<p> <!--#exec script="/cgi-bin/test-cgi.cgi" post="somedata=thisdata" --> </Body> </html> #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And the output is... #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a test #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So now my employers are beginning to give me that "and the reason we employed you is because...?" look. Does anybody know if the ENV info is something that can be set in WebSTAR? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Open Learning Agency 4355 Mathissi Place, Burnaby, B.C.
