[thelist] links

Yello list,

I have a problem which might be simple to resove if you know the answer, but
i haven't
a clue why this is happening. I know a way around it but before actually
using it i would like to
know if there is a way to actually solve this problem.
I have one page (pagea) that links to pageb. Both pages are .pl extensions.
Now pagea has a link
to page b like so

<a href="http://localhost/preferences/icon/select/?page=1">select</a>

now when pageb, which is index.pl in the directpry select gets this it will
load up page 1. until here no problems
at all. Now....in pageb i have a series of links going from page 1 to page
12 all in the same format as the one
above

<a href="http://localhost/preferences/icon/select/?page=1">1</a>
<a href="http://localhost/preferences/icon/select/?page=2">2</a>
etc etc etc

However when i click on one of these apache spouts out this at me:

Not Found
The requested URL /preferences/select/ was not found on this server.


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
any ideas?

TIA
