in reply to Too late for "-T" option

Too late for -T is a common (WinNT/IIS) problem. You hosting provider is probably using IIS. See -T t t t t t o o late folks and Learning CGI for links and discussion.

    Thanks all for your input and I must say your explainations make better sense than my own.

    Interesting as it's possible that the host is on a Windows platorm. I certainly will ask the tech people about the platfrom that it's on. I'll also ask how they implement the scripts,

    Speaking for me, I'm an OS X user and not too familar with the Windows platform.

    Guess I'll I have to learn Windows as well.

      Just checked out their page on techology. My host uses both FreeBSD and LInux so I think we can rule out the Windows platfrom as being the cause of the problem.

      I believe the OS X is based on FreeBSD. I'm using the Panther verision.

      Guess I"ll have to ask the tech people if i can run CGI straight from the platfrom or if the script is being invoked some other way.

      I'll ask about that module thing too.

        I heard from my host.

        The reply that I got indicates that it does not offer taint mode in Perl. They say they will fix that in an upgrade in the future.

        Well, so much for using that site to showcase my web pages in my design portfolio. :(
