odd it works if I assign it directly like your example (at least it will print something ) but I am having a terrible time figuring out how to echo the contents so I can see what is getting caught here is another attempt as you can see I borrowed heavily from your example, if my url is www.tempohelp.com it prints exactly as it should the www and the example, but if I modify to be this it will print www.tempohelp.com but it won't print snd.tempohelp.com for example this site is using a heredoc for output, and the problem seems to be located elsewhere in the code, its really got me stumped. 
 sub transform
  {
      if (!$Session->{'isAuthenticated'}) 
      {
       my $host=$Request->ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")->item();
       $Response->write("This is $host");
}
