Thank you for the reply - I can see the reasoning behind your answer to my misplaced expectation "...expect to work..".

I suppose I expected, because I came across a few examples that I thought were using the HTTP::Response Object. I need to go look more as to what the CGI (which I presumed - shouldn't presume I know - would use the HTTP::Response) actually does when it writes out.

Incidentally, I read that the CGI is removed from core and no longer considered 'good practice' to use any more, being usurped by better ways allegedly.

Perhaps I should just stick to print statements and drive it myself as I don't necessarily always have access to compile install other modules so I am not able to use other than what's available.

Thank you again
