I'm looking through this scope response and the following Apache::Registry response. Both look very interesting and it's nice to have a suggestions to think about rather than just hitting my head on the wall some more.

My program is 20+ pages and most of it contains material I can not post. I took a few minutes to write a test program and I can not (yet) explain why my test program DOES WORK and my main code does not. Chances are, one of these two responses has the answer.

My small test code that DOES WORK is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# FILE: test_time_01.pl
use warnings; 
use strict; 
use CGI qw(:standard escapeHTML); 
my $t = time; 
print start_multipart_form(-action => url()),
p header(), start_html("test"),
p ("The value of time is $t. <br><br>"),
end_form();

Thank you,
