I think I am genuine.  The base code compiles entirely from source in the
PLD2 compiler language I developed (www.pld2.com); I think I have adequate
control.

Netscape instead of K-Meleon is a "registry thing".  The code is looking for
the association of ".htm" and running whatever the associated program is.  I
suspect if you have a local file called eggs.htm, that Netscape comes up
when you double click the file.  Perhaps K-Meleon comes up if you click
spam.html.  I dunno but the program is looking no further than the "open"
verb of .htm.

I have duplicated your experience with both Netscape and Opera on Win98.  I
have neither a fix nor a facile explanation at this time.  I have repeatedly
run both browsers on other CGI code in both Perl and native PLD2.  I suspect
a recent change here is at fault.  I am working on fixing this now and will
let you know.

Thanks very much for the report.
