in reply to I almost got it!

It looks like you're trying to use CGI.pm to me ... this code will work: #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; $q = new CGI; $query = $q->Vars; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; $text=$query->{message}; print "<HTML><BODY>
$text
</BODY></HTML>"; ... where you call the script as script.cgi?message=whatever

    Ik! Sorry, that was my first post ever ... I didn't realize i had to format the code myself. ________________________ 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;

$q = new CGI;    
$query = $q->Vars;   

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$text=$query->{message};
print "<HTML><BODY>
    $text
    </BODY></HTML>";
    _______________________ Hope that works :-)
