one works great.
Any ideas on how I can change the perl include path?

For the benefit of anyone that reads this thread in the future I got
the CGI scripts to use my own include path by adding

SetEnv PERL5LIB f:/work/technical

to the end of my httpd.conf file.

Details of SetEnv are at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_env.html
