I wondered about that. Makes sense nowe. Before I used "apachectl restart", 
which does a HUP. SPOPS isn't the only thing that doesn't like a HUP very 
much. When it started working, I did a stop and start. I was used to the 
init.d script that did a full stop and start. One more mental note to file 
away...

Ahhh, the one place I didn't look! Thanks. That makes sense now. I've found 
the template.

Well, I just first have to figure out the first itch to scratch. Perhaps I 
need to replace my PHP image gallery with a perl one. :-) If anyone has 
ideas for generic reusable components, I'm listening. I'm still looking for 
a job, so unfortunately I have some time on my hands. :-(
