in reply to Perl script not opening in Netscape properly

Maybe you haven't configured Apache correctly to *execute* .pl scripts it finds in that directory. Check your Apache configuration to see whether you have Options +ExecCGI on for that directory (or location).

    To be sure wether your apache is well configured, open this file your netscape is trying to save and see what's in there. If there's your source code, your apache is misconfigured. If it shows what should appear in the browser, then your apache is ok... Anyway, this may give you a clue...

    scripts are actually located in the /home/bin directory on the server (default) - as far as we can tell, the config looks fine for that
