May I ask why?
Maybe I'll learn something too.
Update: For those of you arriving at my node via a search please note it is NOT the right answer, see rest of thread

Thanks for the enlightenment Joost and Anon! Indeed something learned!

I guess because: `#!/usr/bin/perl print "$ENV{SCRIPT_FILENAME}\n";` [download] Prints an empty line when not run as a CGI program. Its useful in a CGI progam though, and it's in the CGI specs so it might be more portable in that situation than the other methods specified above. actually, I kinda like the suggestion - traxlog++ :-) Joost "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
