(You make it hard for us to help, by not taking the time to format your posts readably. Please read Writeup Formatting Tips) Your web server runs under a different user than the one you use when you run programs from the command line. I would guess that the web server user doesn't have permission to read files from the directory that contains your library file. I'm pretty sure that there will be a message in your web server error log that confirms this. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

As davorg has already pointed out, this definitely sounds like a permissions issue. Peter L.
