What number? If not, add this: echo implode("<BR>\n", $output); Are the Perl scripts world-executable? Do they start with #! /usr/bin/perl, or are you relying on shell configuration to "know" they are Perl scripts, which PHP's shell probably won't? Does either Perl script access other files to which "nobody" might not have access? Why are you using Perl anyway? :-) -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
