Thanks, BrowserUK.

strict.pm appears to be there, but I still get the same error message

Thanks again for your interest and time

Sorry for the 20 questions, but that's remote debugging. What happens if you change the first line to just:#! perl?

A glutton for Newbie punishment, you are, BrowserUK

But I appreciate it nonetheless

This for two ways:(Wasn't sure about the space

#! perl
[download]

#!perl
[download]

so, same-o, same-o:
