} Okay, here's my latest test script, verbatim:
} 
} 	#!perl
} 	print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
} 	foreach (keys %ENV) {
} 	  print "\$ENV\{\'" , $_ , "\'\}: " , $ENV{$_} , "<BR>\n\n";
} 	  }
} 
} And here's the output in a Web browser:
} 
} 	$ENV{''}: SERVER_SOFTWARE
} 	$ENV{'GET'}: SERVER_NAME
} 	$ENV{'Keep-Alive'}: HTTP_PRAGMA
} 	$ENV{'MACPERL'}: G3:MacPerl:
} 	$ENV{'acs.bitstream.net'}: SERVER_PORT
} 	$ENV{'http://www2.bitstream.net/~acs/adam.html'}: HTTP_USER_AGENT
} 	$ENV{'80'}: SCRIPT_NAME
} 	$ENV{'iso-8859-1,*,utf-8'}: HTTP_ACCEPT
} 	$ENV{'MacHTTP/2.0'}: GATEWAY_INTERFACE
} 	$ENV{'TMPDIR'}: Quadzilla:Temporary Items:
} 	$ENV{'CGI/1.1'}: SERVER_PROTOCOL
} 	$ENV{'en'}: HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET
} 	$ENV{'127.0.0.1'}: REQUEST_METHOD
} 	$ENV{'Mozilla/4.03 (Macintosh; I; PPC, Nav)'}: HTTP_CONNECTION
} 	$ENV{'/env.cgi'}: HTTP_REFERER
} 	$ENV{'no-cache'}: HTTP_HOST
} 	$ENV{'HTTP/1.0'}: REMOTE_ADDR
} 	$ENV{'PERL5LIB'}: G3:MacPerl:lib,G3:MacPerl:lib2
} 	$ENV{'USER'}: Adam
} 
} As you can see, MACPERL, PERL5LIB, TMPDIR, and USER are okay.  Everything
} else is mixed up.  Asking for the variables by name (e.g. $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'})
} doesn't work either.  By the way, this little test script works perfectly on
} a UNIX server.

} It's "CGI Script", created and modified on Jan. 19, 1997.  I'm pretty sure
} this is the one that came with MacPerl 5.1.5r4.  And it worked fine before I
} got the G3.

Have you tried a simple non-cgi script that loads up %ENV and then
prints it right back out?  It strikes me that the four that work are
all predefined.  Maybe the something screwy going on has nothing to do
with CGI's at all.

I wasn't planning on putting MacPerl on my wife's G3 that she's
getting in 3 days, but I will if I can help figure out what's
happening.
