in thread backtick ignores parameters

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,
