Yep, that did it - many thanks. And fortunately CA Server isn't 
afflicted by the params persistence problem.

Having to declare the dispatch class is probably the right behaviour - 
CAD::Server doesn't seem to require it so I didn't notice it was missing 
when I modified my server script to use CAS instead of CADS. Also a 
trawl of the archives should have turned up your original notification 
of the problem.

My starting point for trying to work with an unfamiliar perl module is 
usually the documentation. Certainly the CAS synopsis doesn't help where 
there are examples of 4 packages in the server entry_points(), and none 
of them are use'd.
