What happens?

Shouldn't this:

Code: [Select]

be like this:

Code: [Select]

Just a note on nested HTML tags.       I don't know how to program in Perl so don't ask me any details, eventhough I have a fairly good understanding of it. Anyone else to offer a helping hand?

Yes, but that wouldn't stop it from displaying altogether. He didn't say if he got a script error or just a blank page though.

Indeed. That was just a reminder. Please give us some more info. Is this a home server or a remote host? Is /usr/bin/perl the correct path to Perl? Stuff like that.

It's a remote host, the page loads but it only load the "The Guestbook" header,  Yes /usr/bin/perl is the corredt path, and I have the permissions set to 755.
