Matt,

Thanks for the suggestion, but that is not an option on my 
system. But you did get me thinking and I persued another path, literally.

It is a perl problem! It does not support spaces in path names.
When I moved my cgi-bin directory to a place where it does not
have a space in the path name it now works just fine! It is still
a long path. d:\xitami\html\cgi-bin

Sounds like a perl bug report is coming next.

Appreciate you getting me thinking on a different path.

Dennis
