Greetings Angharad,

Debugging through PM posts isn't optimum for this sort of thing, but here are a couple of ideas that come my mind:

• Ensure the file is a UNIX file, not DOS
• Ensure the #! line is at line 1

  • my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header;
  • use CGI qw(header); print header;
• Run the script from the command-line and post what you get
