Iain,

I don't want to start a war on the list, but this doesn't work either. 
A wrong qrz.pl in /spider/cmd/show and a good one in
/spider/local_cmd/show still shows the same error as we had original (no
such file or directory).
No qrz.pl in /spider/cmd/show and the good one in /spider/local_cmd/show
doesn't give an answer from QRZ.COM. (tested on a linux spider).

So for now I stick with the idea expressed in my previous email, since
sometimes it's better to follow the practical model and not the
theoritical one :-)
