I have written a program that I have used many times. It consists of a main script, a config script and an admin script.

The config script is not returning a true value

If I move the contents of the script into main script, the script runs. I rewrote the config file (called by both main and admin scripts) and it is correct without errors the main script runs perfectly.. The minute I do the require calling the config, POOF.

The call to the server is correct. And as I said, I have rewritten this config.pl four times, removed it from the server, reuploaded it and still, it is not being found - to wit returned a not true

It has me baffled. I am not using cgi.pm, just perl5. I am a software developer in perl, C and other languages, and this is the first time I have ever seen this error!

TIA, Doc
