Thanks for the quick reply John! I tried running a different script (a basic date and time script). Worked fine in root dir of cgi-bin.

Then tried running with SSI. Worked fine. Put it into a directory in the bin called "sdf" and tried to access with SSI. Got this error:
Sat Dec 21 01:56:37 2002 error client 24.226.53.114 unable to include "/cgi-bin/sdf/datetime.pl" in parsed file /home/httpd/vhosts/robj.ca/httpdocs/test/index.shtml

and this error when I tried to browse to datetime.pl in the sdf directory:
Sat Dec 21 01:56:53 2002 error client 24.226.53.114 Premature end of script headers: /home/httpd/vhosts/robj.ca/cgi-bin/sdf/datetime.pl

I think it is probably that scripts can only be run in the root dir of the bin?...

script works fine: http://www.robj.ca/cgi-bin/datetime.pl
