Look for errors in the logs. Activate errors on broswer: `use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );` [download] get the error and deactivate error dumping (it could lower your security). Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))') Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l]

Are you sure it's "in the same directory"? CGI scripts may execute in a different directory than their physical location. Try using an absolute path to the second script (not a URL, a path). What error message do you get from running the second script?	[reply]

Also, give the full path to the perl binary, as it might not be in your current directory or path. Matt	[reply]

Check your permissions..... also a cut'n'paste of the error you get would be helpful...	[reply]

i have tried the full path location, the script it self works fine on its own. is that do "perl name.pl" a complete command?	[reply]

you dont need perl in front of name.pl => do update - try do 'script.pl'; Ted -- "That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved." --Ralph Waldo Emerson	[reply]
