If I execute the cgi from my shell this is the output I get.
[root@e-smith repository]# ./index.cgi
Can't locate URI/Escape.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at ./index.cgi line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./index.cgi line 17.
When I make an index.shtml with the following content
the screen remains blank in the webbrowser when I load it.
I'm going to find out where I can get URI/Escape.pm that seems the be the problem.
