You will need to debug the output from the `env` command then. Compare what the script outputs when it is run from your shell account. Compare what `env` returns when run from your shell account to the output from the CGI. Take out all intermediaries. Eliminate all differences. Find out where the two scripts/environments differ.

Most likely, from your .profile something else gets run. Maybe only if there is a terminal connected. It's hard to tell without seeing your code and the relevant parts of the .profile.

I notice the function calls `echo env |...`, when I do echo env from the command line I get nothing, env by iteself works. An example of a line from the .profile is: TESTUSERS="test@unix.company.com"; export TESTUSERS. This is one of the variables that tillys method does not pick up. Thanks again for your help

You do not seem to understand the shell programming going on there.

The line

echo env | bash --login

is used to run the env command in an instance of the bash shell running as login shell. It seems though as if your shell is the Korn shell (ksh), so you will either need to adapt Get default login environment to the shell actually used on your system, or use RE (tilly) 1: Get default login environment or RE (tilly) 3: Get default login environment or Re^2: RE (tilly) 3: Get default login environment, which all try to get the shell that is actually your login shell.

So, you need to do some understanding of the Perl program and the shell scripts and how they interact.
