Hi monks I have a problem while running the perl script with rasmol script.

As duly pointed out by kyle

you already posted the very same question. Actually I had noticed it but had no time to make comments. Now I have few time so I'll make some...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#print "content-type:text/html \n\n"; 
print "content-type:application/x-rasmol\n\n";
use CGI;

You'd better

use warnings;  # nowadays
use strict;    #always!

[download]

As far as the second goes, you've already been told to. So, any good reason why you don't?

Incidentally, I can't understand why you do use CGI but still print the header manually. Just use the header() method/sub.

Last, I snipped the rest of your script and I may be wrong, but a quick glance at it seems to reveal quite a lot of common code/text in the various elsif blocks. If really so, then it screams for factorization. I have the feeling that you could make your code much more compact.
