"which I've always used" - we call that cargo cult programming ;-). See the 'Method Invocation' section in perlobj for an explanation of the two idioms. I strongly recommend that you always use strict! There are ways of turning off some of the checking locally, but generally issues flagged by `use strict;` have better solutions.

As GrandFather pointed out it's a matter of method invocation. You may very well have created a CGI object at the start of your code ... but in your OP (and here in your now working call) you are not calling a method on that obj, you're calling a class method. I suggest you use a different name for your variable, something like `$cgi` to avoid confusion between your obj and the class.	[reply] [d/l]
