    Er... what?

    If there was no "use CGI" in the OP's program, then it's very unlikely that he'd get a "can't find CGI,pm" error message, isn't it?

    See the Copyright notice on my home node.

      ... but the program as posted contains no such line.

        I think the post is confusing people:

        "However if I use a simple hello.pl page it works perfect in the browser "

        Then:

        "However when I try to load the actual script 'step1.pl'"

        Basically, they're not showing the code (step1.pl) which produces the error.

      Good to see you posting again :)
