Oh yes! I've started talking to myself 8).

I just tried it. Exactly the same blank page is returned.

Ah, just figured out you mean my \Windows\Temp directory?

I don't see those file names, but I *do* see pipe0014.cgo and pipe0014.cgi
(along with several pairs with lower numbers) The .cgi has in it (if I use
POST, if I use GET the file is empty) animal=bird. The .cgo is empty. There
is also a like-named .flt file which is also empty.
Now, when I run the self-contained cgitest.pl, the .cgi and .cgo contents
are *very* different, and contain (in the case of the .cgo) all the stuff I
want in the browser. Let me guess: this means that the called script is
*not* being run?

I use TextPad (great for Java, BTW).

I guess so, because I believe we are actually homing in in the problem. One
of the tougher nuts I've tried to crack. Windows C++ application problems
pale by comparison 8).

Thanks once more for sticking with me!
