While this isn't very constructive, I have to doubt the fact that it works like a charm. How unusual are the queries you've hit it with? Will it work for both GET and POST requests? What about multipart/form-data? Does it gracefully handle multiple query keys? That's just the most common problems I can think of off the top of my head. See Ovid's excellent CGI course for good - nay, required - practice when writing CGI scripts.

    Well, I solved the issue today at work, one problem was that I realised I had the wrong day of the week listed for the date/year combo in the expires list.

    Another step I took was to remove the arbitrary &print_headers call that occurred at the beginning of the script and place it within subs that would require a header to print

    Then I had to play with the path a bit...I don't have admin rights...am a systems engineer doing software engineering for my boss as a "freebie"..as a result my code is outside of the cgi-bin and my paths are all over the damn place until the program goes prime time..thus the path=/ option had to be massaged a bit ...
