Thanks for timely response. "as you see debugging by proxy can be a real pain, even more so for me when you only release code in little pieces, spread across many threads. I understand your frustration, do you understand mine?"

I totally understand your frustration. Repeated warning say not to post lots of code. So the snippets.

Last first:

as to why "the warn( in my cgi scripts do not print in the error log" i cannot answer, mine do, and a google search has produced no further answers either.

I searched everywhere also and found nothing that matched my problem. At a loss.

On the first part, I had already tried my ($query) = @_;

and got

Sun Mar 5 07:51:35 2017 -: Global symbol "%query" requires explicit package name at - line 225, <DATA> line 998. Sun Mar 5 07:51:35 2017 -: BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at - line 646, <DATA> line 998.

Shows in syntax check in Padre. This I totally don't understand as the syntax check is still finding "global symbol "%query" somewhere.

I shut Padre down. Reopened and still there. Again did search on %query and nothing.

Ran a debug and still there:

Status: 500 Content-type: text/html

Software error:

Global symbol "%query" requires explicit package name at manageus
ers.pm line 226, <DATA> line 998.
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at manageusers.pm line 647, <
;DATA> line 998.


This error does not show up in komodo syntax check.
