Hi Splash,
First off, I really do appreciate your taking the time to help here....
Browsing some earlier posts, it seems others have had this problem... yet I've yet to see anyone post that they fixed it nor has anyone solved it for them.
The interesting thing is this: It is not a 500 Internal Server Error.
It is executing the script OK server side but the pod.cgi returns the above error in a nice colorful box. i.e. the script executes serverside but cannot complete it's call to dmoz.org for some reason.
Confusingly, servertest.pl shows no errors.....
I'm right now looking to see if perhaps my new host (aitcom.com) has a required perl module in a less than required version number or something....
