Hi Monks,
Hoping you can help me out as I've been unable to resolve an issue I'm having.

I have a CGI script that is calling a rather simple javascript file. Both are stored locally on the same server in the same directory. The script (the CGI part) runs fine and does what it's suppose to but when the javascript portion is called it throws the following error:

Not a CODE reference at /xxxx/www/docs/xxxx/internal/xxxx/test.cgi line 48.

Here's the portion of the code calling the js script.

    if ('20'.$Menu_Year == $Default_Year && $Menu_Month >= $Default_Mo
+nth && $Menu_Day >= $Default_Day) {
        print $cgi->(-title=>'Pop-up Window',
            -script=>{-language=>'javascript',
                  -type=>'text/javascript',
                  -src=>'http://s-internal.xxxx.com/xxxx/pop-up.js'});

It's just a simple alert window letting the user know that the date is out of bounds/not valid. I tried putting the code directly into the perl script but haven't had any luck. I'm using the alert\window.alert java function. I'd be open to other methods that accomplish the same task as well - looking into a few of those right now (so far no luck). Permissions on the server are not an issue (775).
