Ok folks, The following code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use CGI qw(:standard); $query = new CGI; $query->header(); $query->start_html(); $query->h1( "Header text"); print "<BR>test cgi stuff:"; $query->start_form; $query->textfield(-name=>"State", -default=>'gaseous', -justification=>'RIGHT'); $query->end_form; print $query->p("<BR>done with cgi test"); $query->end_html(); ---------------------------------------------- produces the following output: test cgi stuff done with cgi test ---------------------------------------------- You can see the problem. No text field and no "Header text" text. The same problem occurs if I attempt to use the other html generating functions. I'm sure its simple. I hope you can help thanks! I am using NetPresenz 4.1 on a Quadra 700 running MacOS 7.5.5 with 15Mb RAM allocated to NetPresenz and 3Mb RAM allocated to MacPerl (v5.1.3r2).
