Thanks again for your response. I rewrote the Perl code to cause it to write the generated HTML code into a file on the webserver (not on the client). I then use the browser to access that file with the Open File... command, and the result works just fine.

So you wrote "Save your page and upload it to your webserver. If the static page works from there, your problem is elsewhere." I didn't actually upload the file to the webserver, I wrote the file directly onto the webserver's disk. So, doesn't this mean that my "problem is elsewhere"?

I chose a read/writeable directory on the webserver and generated a unique filename for the file:

@timedata = localtime(time);
$cur_time = join('', @timedata);
open (OUTPUT, ">/net/server/other/exec_$cur_time.html");

Then all my PRINT commands go into OUTPUT. I am still not achieving my goal of directing the user to that HTML page, but I am trying to test the theory of whether I am allowed to access a file on the webserver...
