in thread perl script not running properly off web server

Another possibility, if he is editing the code under Windows and running under Linux (or vice-versa), it to check if the lines are properly delimited. Win/DOS delimiters can confuse the Perl parser under Linux, and I have no idea what the Linux/UNIX delims would do under Windows.

    You can try running dos2unix if you are going windows to linux and see if that helps. It should be a standard tool. if its not you can allways remove them by hand. I beleive they look like ^M at the end of each line.
