Re: Re: Re: How do I run .pl script from Unix command line, and pass CGI variables to it?

Your template paths are relative:

my $template =
    HTML::Template->new( filename  => 'nc_mainmenu.tmpl',
...
[download]

So either change those to be absolute (/path/to/nc_mainmenu.tmpl) or copy the templates to the directory you're executing the offline script from or check the webserver configuration to see if HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT is set to something - if so, set your offline environment to have that same variable.

All my files (.pl's and .tmpl's) are in the same directory. Once I pass the CGI variable to it (as Abigail-II pointed me to above), the script runs and generates the HTML based on the template. So I think I have the template paths set up correctly (crossing fingers!). Thanks for your clarification! Lori	[reply]
