[Gllug] perl & cgi glitches

Sat Dec 22 09:27:25 UTC 2001

I have tried both /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl

the script works if I run it on ethe command line..

I also have FormMail.pl on the same system which works.

I have tried the same scripts on another system here with the same
error.

Cheers
Xander
