Thanks $code_or_die, didn't know that. Old saying "No read manual, no have clue". That probably explains my sysadmins reluctance to install it! I just worry about a broken method, he gets to worry about the whole system.

I'm sure the problem just relates to a hand install but it seems odd to have moved this particular code into a module to me, especially as it is important. But then again, I have never found the coding style in CGI.pm all that transparent. I will give it a day or two to see what gets added here and would like to see for myself if you can generate a functional but broken CGI.pm 3.01 with a hand install and a fully functional one with a regular install before I pester Lincoln.

cheers
