    I started setting up a username and password thing on my website.  This
is a test I would like to have try and see what I am doing wrong.

    If you go to http://www.hartfordwolfpackbc.com and on the left side
navigation area, click on the Members Area link, put in the username
"sharkey" and the password "scumbag" it should talk you to the area I want
protected, but all it does is give me an error.  This error:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of
HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


Can't use subscript on subroutine entry at D:\home\nt4s96\cgi-bin\pwd.pl
line 74, near "{ALRM}"
(Did you mean $ or @ instead of &?)
Execution of D:\home\nt4s96\cgi-bin\pwd.pl aborted due to compilation
errors.

This is the part of the script it is talking about.  I put the number before
each line so you can see what it is talking about.  The whole script can be
found at http://www.hartfordwolfpackbc.com/script.htm :

###########Kill runaways
# Set non buffering
$| = 1;

65# Define SIGALRM handler
66sub TIME_ALARM {
67        # ReAssign SIGALRM handler
68  $SIG{ALRM}='TIME_ALARM';
69  print "Sorry.  Your request timed out. Try later or contact ";
70  print "<a href=\"mailto:$youremail\">$yourname</a>.\n";
71    exit;
72}
73 Assign SIGALRM handler
74 $SIG{ALRM}='TIME_ALARM';
75alarm $timeout;
76###########end kill runaway


    Thanks in advance!!!
