You might also want to note that it works fine on Win2K. And my .pl files are associated to be run using the perl interpreter. So, I think that should not really be a problem.

Since the PATH is printed from the cgi perl script, I would assume that it would be inherited by the 'system' call within it. Correct me, if I am wrong here. And the perl script that I am calling has the correct program association for execution and also, it is available in the path. The error message says that "No such file or directory", means its not able to locate this file, though the PATH has my script :(
