The only way I know to trigger a PERL script to run is to point my browser to it in the cgi-bin directory of a web server. I don't know if there's a pure windows version of PERL....there must be. Normally when the script runs if finds PERL based on the path on the first line of the script, usually at the root of a Unix or Linux file server like Apache. Your team leader didn't give you instructions? ::::: Opera :::::
