    Hi,

    I have a problem with a CGI script (Perl) on a Win2000 server.
    The script is for sending E-cards and was written by Jason Maloney:
    http://www.aestheticsurgerycenter.com/scripts/postcard/postcard1.shtml
    You can choose from some cards, add your own text and send it to a friend.
    This friend get a mail which tell him/her that he/she has a mail and have to
    click a link.
    So far everything works just fine.
    But when the recipient clicks the link he/she gets the following error
    message in the browser window:
    ----------------------------------------------------
    CGI Error
    The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
    HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
    Can't open perl script
    "D:\Inetpub\HCO\www\cgi-bin\postcard\card.cgi1070022045": No such file or
    directory
    --------------------------------------------------------
    The cgi script is in \cgi-bin\postcard\card.cgi
    But the data it has to retrieve is in
    \cgi-bin\postcard\cards\1070022045.dat(for example)
    Each mail generates a new .dat file.

    Any ideas???
    I already had contact with the author, but he tested it only on a Win NT
    server which worked just fine. He has no experience with Win2000 server

    You can try it on our test site:
    http://195.86.135.223/cgi-bin/postcard/index.html

    Thanks,
    Bernard
