If it works from a static web page, the error is in the HTML created by your CGI script.

"What I guess is trying to happen is that Apache is trying to 'execute' the applet instead of 'serving' it. "

Don't confuse yourself. The Perl script serves the web page output from your script, not the applet. The browser then parses the page and requests the applet in a seperate request.

crazyinsomniac hit the nail on the head. Either use an absolute url (recommended), or use <BASE HREF...> tag to set the directory you want the browser to base all relative uri requests from.
