note CharlesClarkson    While not certain, I suspect the server may have an older version of CGI.pm installed. Perhaps a fellow monk knows when <CODE>Vars</CODE> was added to CGI.pm. If you can get a look at the CGI.pm source on your server, search for the <CODE>Vars</CODE> subroutine. You should be able to determine the version of CGI by printing <CODE>$CGI::VERSION</CODE>. Install the newest version from CPAN if you can. Try a [Super Search] on Vars If all else fails you could bother the <A HREF="mailto:lstein@cshl.org">author</A>, but wait a few days for a reply here first. HTH, Charles K. Clarkson 98316 98471
