Problems with Macs and CGI
Hello
I have a cgi/perl program that matches the form data with a flat file database...
Everything works with windows 9X, ME, 2000, Linux and Unix, but it won't work with a macintosh OS.
When someone tries to send data through the form, it says the data doesn't match.
Example:
Player 1 reports a loss to Player 2
Player 1 clicks report, enters his CORRECT information, but the CGI/Perl program returns an error message: Your username/password combination does not match. Please try again.
Any ideas?

I assume you mean "on a mac" as from a mac server (i.e. the actual CGI running from a Mac/Apache server - as we're in the server-side scripting thread). Or do you mean that clients who try to access it from a Mac get this problem?

Are you using some type of JavaScript validation?
Sites (developed on windows anyway) always act strangely on Mac's (especially fonts). Try downloading Netscape 3.1 Gold and testing it with that. Usually if it works on 3.1 it will work on Macintosh browsers (NS and IE).
