Yes, I believe this was the problem.

I am using mod_perl.  I moved the style sheet and other html files to  the doc
root directory, and the problems vanished -- all except one.

I tried this, which produced a PETAL tokenizer error.  PETAL does not bark when
I use the <at> import construct.  Even with the <at> construct, PETAL coughs
when I tryin to reference a style sheet class, like this:
<td CLASS=sidebar> Goodbye </td>  
Here is the error message:
[Fri May  6 09:38:00 2005] [error] [PETAL ERROR] cannot tokenize: <td
CLASS=sidebar> Goodbye  at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MKDoc/XML/Tokenizer.pm

Any ideas?

p.s.   Thanks for helping me get untracked.  I was not thinking clearly at all
about the apache config.
