I use a  PPC9500 with a  604/120, with MP514.

What did happend with script is quite strange : asking the %ENV with a cgi
send back the liste fine. But just one time !
I didn't find out if it 's a Perl, a MacPerl problem or a cgi one, while
running  Webstar201.
Anyway, as far i don't have time now, i'll have to solve that "thing", if
it exist!  :-)
