Dear all, one of my first approaches to Perl aims to be a CGI which should parse an HTML page, compose a filename from the parsed value and download the file. The HTML side loks like this: ---] START [...] <FORM ACTION=http://172.a.b.c/Scripts/checkTice.pl NAME="Form" METHOD="POST"> [...] ---] END And the Perl side like this: ---] START #!/usr/bin/perl use CGI qw(:cgi); $ticeURL="http://www.remote-machine.com/whatever.asp\?idA=28\&idB="; $ticeFileInput=$ARGV[0] ; $ticeFileToCheck=join ("",$ticeURL,$ticeFileInput); $ticeUsage="\nUsage: checkTice.pl <file code>\n"; if (@ARGV < 1 ) { print $ticeUsage ; exit ; } print "\n INFO - Getting => $ticeFileToCheck\n"; system ("wget -cq --execute=http_proxy=proxy:8080 --output-document=TICE_checkpoint $ticeFileInput.xml $ticeFileToCheck"); print "\n INFO - The downloaded file can be found as: TICE_checkpoint_$ticeFileInput.xml\n\n"; ---] END The script used alone works pretty fine but problems arise when I use it as CGI... What obvious part am I overseeing?

The part in your message in which you tell that it works as a stand alone script. It IS a stand alone script and not a CGI script.
Thanks in advance,

Puh. You can send me an email and later tell me that you didn't mean it? Have the people who writes such stuff ever stoped to read it? Regards, Cees. Disclaimer: if you read this, you owe me $50,=. (sorry, could not resist.)

Now I know why solicitors make so much money!
