Sorry, I posted the above in a hurry before I went to work, I therefore got the post and get methods mixed. I have tried both, post and get, and both give me empty data back.

Instead of your program, try something like this instead

#!/usr/bin/perl  --
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use Data::Dumper;    #zum debuggen
Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );
sub Main {
    my $cgi = CGI->new;
    print $cgi->header(); # Write HTTP header
    print $cgi->start_html,
    $cgi->b(rand time, ' ', scalar gmtime),
    '<table border="1" width="%100"><tr><td>',
    $cgi->Dump,
    '</td><td><div style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow: scroll;">',
    $cgi->escapeHTML( Dumper( $cgi ) ),
    '</div></td></tr></table>',
    CGI->new( \%ENV )->Dump,
    $cgi->end_html;
}

Hello, thank you for your quick response. I did try your script. It is giving me output on all the ENV variables, however the QUERY_STRING is still blank. The 'params' is empty. Could it be possible that I need to set up something else on the server? Irwin

Can't say, never heard of a webserver that would execute cgis, but then fail to set the required ENV vars ... but all we've got is your word that something is wrong, and for all we know, you're looking at the wrong thing :/
