Hi, I've been searching for an answer to this and can't find anything like it ... although I think that the fix will end up being simple. The following code runs on a commercial server I have access to, and generates the calendar I want. When I run it on my RedHat 9.0 Linux box running Apache and mod_perl, though, it runs, but $ARGV[0] never makes it to $Month so it doesn't generate the calendar. I don't get any errors except that I am trying to use a variable ($Month) that has not been initialized. I have tried other scripts that I know to work and they also fail to pass the $ARGV[0]. I don't know if this matters, but I had problems running scripts from Apache at all until I installed the mod_perl module ... perl runs fine from the command line, though. 
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w

my $Month = $ARGV[0];
use strict;
#$Month = 3; # if I uncomment this like it also works fine

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html>\n <head>\n  <title>file viewer</title>\n </head>\n";
print "<body>\n";
print @ARGV;   #this shows nothing on my Apache server 
&Calendar($Month,2005,1); #Print a calendar for a month in 2005
print "</body></html>\n";
