Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it. I get the correct value returned when I use the URL http://buzzword.org.uk/2013/json-addition.cgi but I get malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at er offset 0 (before "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLI...") at json_client.pl line 12 when I use my own URL http://myurl.com/cgi-bin/json_mode.cgi. I have installed the server in the cgi-bin directory with permission 755 and the perl has valid syntax etc. It looks as if I cannot access the cgi file in the cgi-bin directory. Do you know a way around this?

I also see it described as text/cgi whereas some, but not all of the other cgi files are described as application/cgi. Any ideas why this is the case?
