EEk! the || operators don't work like that? I've got my languages switched up then. Maybe the perl i'm using is modified as it seems to work correctly. I'll test if further assuming it doesn't work now. The last thing I want is my script serving up ANY file on my servers :O omg!
I'm chewing through your code, myself not being proficient in perl. I thought CGI caused undue overhead? Chewing, chewing :) Thank-you so much for your further help. This gives me an example that I haven't seen via google
