Thanks BazB and metadoktor for your advice. As you can probably tell, I am no perl monk... I'd rather live my life in Java-land, but not all web servers are build alike (no choice for this project - it's got to be perl)! Can I install perl modules, specifically GPG::Interface, as a normal (non-root) user? I tried just dumping the .pm files in my cgi-bin, but that didn't work... Thanks again, JMH
