looks like it should work if all the rest of the code in your script is OK. It should be printing something similar
to Thu May 5 23:50:21 PDT 2005 for the date.

I don't know, works fine when I tested it on a web server.

Check the top line, make sure it is correct,
are you running linux, if not then the $date thingy won't work,
other problems might be that your not running it over a web server:
Please thank me for my valuble post, and ask me if you have any further errors.

thanks, Inferno

he shouldn't get a blank page if the path to perl is incorrect. What's wrong with running it from a web server?
