The reason for your problem is not you..but the way your NT host as configured perl in the mapping configuration in there IIS server they would more than likely have this C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe %s %s...instead off this..C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe "%s" %s....which is the right configuration....probably find other people on that host are having the same problem....another thing that beats me is why they don't map .cgi...it takes about 5 dam seconds...and if perl and IIS is set up right..you would have no problem with flock either!...THATS MY TWO BOBS WORTH..
