Thanks for that! I had thought about wiping the field with the credit card number, but mattr's suggestion of filling the field with random junk is intriguing and probably a safer way to go.

My app isn't quite as sophisticated as what it appears you did. I'm still going to have to enter the cc numbers in to a terminal for processing, but it's a family business (wife and in-laws) so the theft angle isn't quite the same. Of course I'd *love* it if the whole thing grew to where I could justify online processing, but you have to start somewhere.

Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
