Hi, My name is Hemanth and i am very new to perl script. We came across this error when one user trying to run some report. here is the error message - "malformed header from script. Bad header=**** Unable to open the initia: glcashbyfund.pl, referer: http://cgi.portseattle.org/mis/gl/glactivityreportmenu.html". I did compare this script with other working ones and syntax is same. so not sure how i can debud this error. I am very new to this scripting so any help will appreciated. some code snippet from glcashbyfund.pl Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks, Hemanth
