Thanks Ovid, The cgi script is now working (after some rework using strict). The program is a warhammer fantasy statistics generator. It's in the beta-beta phase, but can be viewed at: www.skullport.dk/warhammer.htm. The script works but caused me another very strange problem that probably has nothing to do with the cgi script. When viewing "normal" html my images show ok, but the html images generated from the cgi script does not show at all even though the path is the same. Very wierd. Thanks a lot for the help.
