i was putting print "m00"; before and after each line until i worked out where it was stopping :) then i tried taking the line out. (with other tweaks so i could)
ill just trundle off to find out what its running, ive seen it somewhere around the site...
ok, here's what it says:
Portland web servers are based around IBM AIX and IBM RS/6000 web servers.

ok, ive added the fatalsToBrowser line (assumed it was in already, which is why i was getting *really* confused!) and get the following:

Software error:

Undefined subroutine CGI::Vars

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (support@portland.co.uk), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

im still not really much enlightened, surely use CGI; should be sorting that?

hope you can help!
