Need Help??

in reply to References of Eternal Peril

This is beautiful reading. I've been interested in better structs for my abysmal CGI scripting for some time now. All I wanted to be able to do is assign my text item names directly to the same short scalar of a corresponding name, simply identified. Of course, I'm ready to take any intelligent variation thereof, and it seems I have it.

Bravo to ya alakaboo, accolades to all that responded.

You're welcome. :-)

Just please, please pay heed to all the things mentioned here:

Garbaging the main package with variables, that may 'accidentally' be overwritten sometime
Lack of clarity for someone unfamiliar with your code
Why we have 'strict' to begin with: to avoid this kind of problem
Any others I can think of between now and later... *grin*

And keep bringing those issues to us if you're ever in doubt about something!
