Do you know of any web hosts that try to keep up to date with CGI.pm and perl? Do it yourself (at least with CGI.pm). Install CGI.pm locally in `mylib` (and `mylib/CGI`), then `use lib qw(mylib);` in your scripts.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

dws, Thanks for reply. Have downloaded a folder CGI.pm-3.01 to my mac. Folder contains, among other things, a file CGI.pm as well as two more folders t & CGI. Do I create the mylib (and mylib/CGI) directories in my cgi-bin directory...or at "main level". And then do I just upload (say, via fetch) the file CGI.pm and the two folders? Thanks.	[reply]

Create `mylib` in `cgi-bin` and put CGI.pm there. Create `mylib/CGI` and drop in the contents of the CGI folder. Ignore `t`. That should get you going.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

pair Networks. my current web provider, currently has version 2.72 of CGI.pm. You can check their module availability at this location. I've been with them for two years or so and can recommend them. --t. alex "Excellent. Release the hounds." -- Monty Burns.	[reply]

t alex, Thanks for the suggestion--I've just looked at the site & note that they also offer Miva Merchant which includes inventory control, I think. (Their Americart, I just checked does not.) I will keep them in mind. Thanks again. Tom	[reply]

Futurequest.net has version 2.74. They are very Linux- and Perl-friendly -- not to mention reliable and inexpensive. I highly recommend them!	[reply]

Dr. Mu, I think that I may well go with futurequest.net; I'm currently with jumpline.com which is back at version 2.42--which doesn't handle cookies correctly. Thanks. Tom	[reply]
