Well...I have an improvement - the system is recognising there is a perl script to run.
However, it still doesnt actually run it !

I tried changing the "Application to use" path. It didnt work when I used the path to my perlplusplugin.so.
In fact it wouldnt even attempt to go to the url.

Then I changed it to usr/bin/perl $1 and I got the message
"Warning: this is an executable perl script. Execute the script ?"

However, clicking yes didnt work - no program appeared.

I changed the path to point to what I put on top of my tk scripts.
It gave me the warning -but still no program actually ran.

What does the $1 mean ?
My file extension says ppl not .ppl,I try and change it to .ppl
but it doesnt seem to update.

Do you get the same "Warning box" before your perl tk scripts run ?

thanks again for all your help,
basm101
