No, you don't understand the need. Your solution revolves around a CGIish type solution. This question said nothing about that.

Mea Culpa, bigtime. Maqs is right (and nobody else is wrong but
me). I am working (as described in a little more detail in my reply
to ZZamboni's reply) on a CGI situation. Bingo. I should have
remembered to say so!
So, none of the other solutions posted here will apply to this
immediate situation. Because it's a strictly limited free server
with no shell access, I cannot run non-Perl system commands nor
will a lot of Perl things we take for granted work (like eval
..). Furthermore, installing user modules to this Tripod user space
is somewhat problematic too (I have done so other places, know all
about use lib `foo' and so on, thanks). Furthermore I have a
terribly limited subset of the "normal" ENV variables defined for
me there too. It's OK, I kind of like the challenges of working
with such limitations ... presents a challenge that warms my
hacker's heart ;).
I ramble. Anyway I am not going to be able to reply to everyone who
posted a reply, please let me get away with a blanket "thanks" to
all.
