Hi I'm back. While I haven't tried your post out yet, I did get a book on cgi so that should help me out as well. Will post again when I get some thing reasonable to work.

    Hey is your computer science companion. It's not waiting for imput and when you try to print $guess before the exit it does nothing, so guess doesn't ever get a value... I'll clean it up a bit and send it back...
