I sincerely appreciate the kind words from mt2k. No worries though I knew I would draw critism on my usage of code. As a matter of fact I counted on it! :) Even if I had no idea about the rating system.

I do hope those that have critic'd this program come back to see the changes I have made because of their comments. I have used more of CGI.pm and even figured out how to use crypt(). I have added a feature (?img) and have attempted to clean up code all over (especially in the logging)

I admit, I still haven't incorporated use strict;. It is not that I haven't tried. I just for some reason can't grasp it. How do I use variables between subroutines. If anyone is bored and has the time to convert this with use strict; including comments on usage I would be most gracious. Ofcourse I don't expect such things, but it may help me to understand its usage better. (before you tell me to read about strict I promise I have read everything at both perldoc.com and perlmonks.org)

If you are wondering what the code looked like when I first posted just visit here. I hope you can say you see a positive difference in my code. Please feel free to show me a better way to do any of this. Again I am here to learn and learn I shall! :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
