Re^2: learning by example; please explain what this code is doing?

Hello Corion

Thank you for that; very helpful and good point on slimming down the code.

I am struggling to see what gets passed and from where, for those routines to get called; I will do as you say and get it to run from the command line and see if that helps me further appreciate.

Regards

I recommend these for starting to unravel where everything is happening. CGI#FETCHING-ENVIRONMENT-VARIABLES Security-focused HTTP Primer perlsub (anonymous subroutines / code references) anonymous subs in Perl via Google Update: Part of what I meant when I said it was not good learning code is that it is idiomatic and full of techniques that I could not call beginner friendly. Explaining it to a newcomer to Perl might require line-by-line analysis and examples.	[reply]
