Thanks redsquirrel I'll definitely read more. However, I do have -w in my #!/usr/bin/perl -w.

    The warning is being sent to your web server error log. You'll make sysamdin types happy by writing scripts that don't fill up error logs with gobbledy-gook every time someone executes your script.

    I have found it helpful to test CGI's from the command line using this command:

    perl -cw your_script.pl
    This will not execute the script, but will display many helpful warnings.

      Dunno how to quote people's stuff but...

      redsquirrel - Thankyou for your "perl -cw your_script.pl" pointer.

      Fortunately I am the sysadmin (my play/learning box) but I still don't want to fill my logs with rubbish. Just in case I ever need to review them.

      I would of course first have to work out where they acutally live but that is a moot point.

      Will do. Thanks.
