Ah.... am using IIS as we are on Windoze and I am not as familiar with 
administering Apache (and we can't afford a sysadmin just yet). I am 
planning to migrate and go down the mod_perl route but that is down the list 
after CGI::Appifying my code and implementing some other essential 
features.... can only handle so much new stuff at once! Will bear your 
comments in mind for the future though.
