Impossible to understand your question is, restating a long way to getting answer can go. Kidding aside, I've read your question several times and I can't figure it out. I'm not even sure if it's about e-mail, CGI, or Perl. Judging from the lack of responses, I'm not the only one. Please re-submit it with a clearer statement. I'd also recommend reading some tips on asking questions. Good luck.	[reply]

This is perhaps one of the most poorly considered questions I've seen on PerlMonks. No offence. I'm guessing that the Anonymous Monk who posted the question is not a technical person, as there is almost no information that can be useful to anyone who would even want to answer the question and does not seem to be written by someone who has spent any time debugging code. Let me ask a question in response as an example of what you are asking, and if you can answer it, I will come on-site to your company, figure out the answer to your question, give you $1,000 in cash, set you up on a date with a beautiful model I know, and buy you beer: I wrote a bunch of code and at some point a year or so ago and it takes a file and puts it in a directory. Where is the code that decides which file to put in the directory? (I can't find it myself.) Can you tell me how to put the file in a different directory? If you were to be more descriptive and imagine yourself as someone in the position of the reader of your question, you may get a much more coherent answer. Don't mean to troll here ... I'm just trying to be like the friend who is friend enough to tell you that you have a giant piece of spinach stuck in your teeth.	[reply]

Is there any code you think would send the confirmation messages? Or the code in its entirety? As the saying goes, There's More Than One Way To Do It, so without knowing a bit more information, it's hard to make a blind guess. The only thing I can think of as a blind guess would be writing a file, which another script checks every few minute or so, and if the file is updated it sends off an email. Other than that... no clue from me, anyways. andre germain "Wherever you go, there you are."	[reply]
