Hi,
There should be many ENV that would only be set if you are using a browser, but
one of them might be HTTP_USER_AGENT.
Here is a tested example :
#----
if($ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'}) {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print " You are using a browser";
}
else { print "You have started this script from the command prompt \n"; }
#----
Good luck !!
