Hi been42

That is exactly what I am looking to do. I tried your start_html but it just returns a time stamp to the browser. Am I missing something more fundemental? I'm a bit of a CGI novie, but here is what I have so far:

optput:Mon Feb 19 21:34:25 2007 processremote.cgi: readline() on closed filehandle XMLFILE at /my/upload/path/processremote.cgi line 15.

#!/usr/bin/perl
          
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use CGI qw(:standard); 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 

print header; 
print start_html(-head=>meta({-http_equiv => 'Content-Type',
                              -content    => 'text/xml'}));

open(XMLFILE, "/my/upload/path/master.xml"); 

while (<XMLFILE>){ 
   print $_;
}
