When I'm trying to run this script, I get the following error in the browser:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I don't get any syntax errors when I go to the command line and run "perl -c test.pl", but when I run "perl -w test.pl", I get the following error:

Use of uninitialized value in string at test.pl line 26.

If I change line 26 to print OUTFILE "5";, the script runs fine and it works. Can anyone help me out, or suggest another forum to present my problem to? Thanks.

For some reason $test is not getting created correctly. My guess would be something is wrong in your param() call when you are setting the value of $test.

I would set $test = "5" to see if param() is the problem.

Typically I do something like this...

use CGI qw(:cgi-lib :standard);

$qry=new CGI;

$test = $qry->param("testvar");

Try that.
