Tech support?

I came across this only yesterday - forgive me if the stories are
well-known, they are certainly not new.  But there are some salutary
lessons.

Thanks Andrew. It is appearing that there is no shortcut. I had a perl
script running fine on my desktop UNIX box. When I tried to paste parts of
it into a CGI script on my ISP I ran into what are basic problems.

print( "Test");   # Won't work on server because of the parenthesis
print "Test";     # Works
print "$Cnt++ "   # $Cnt doesn't increment, nor print as expected
