in reply to backtick ignores parameters

That really should work as you describe ... Perhaps you could post the offending code which would make it infinitely easier for fellow monks to debug. Also, if you want to save yourself the trouble of having to call external scripts you could make use of the HTML::CalendarMonth module or simpler still the HTML::Calendar::Simple module.

    There is 1.2MB of offending code (all Perl, yup). If you really want at it (you don't): http://www.extropia.com/applications/downloads/webcal_perl.html?

    I was seriously hoping that i was invoking qx// improperly, since webcal.cgi parses the params fine when I type them at the prompt.

    Re: the modules you referenced, I'm sure they will work fine and I'll use them if I need to. The goal here is content management for non-programmers, so I chose WebCal for having an admin interface et al in place already. No need to re-invent the wheel, as it were.

    I'll wade through webcal.cgi some more.

    Thanks for the replies all,


    Pliny.
