    Just tried following it. There is no mysql_config file on my server. Debian probably takes care of all that. I'm in over my head.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    Unless I can apt-get install or cpan|cpanm without error, I get frightened off by perl module installations. I'm a bit better at it. I can handle minor issues. But when it gets to more involved, I'm in over my head. I've read some stuff over the years about installing Perl modules from scratch but it all gets forgotten as I just rely on the tools that do it all for me. And then, when I do get my hands dirty, it seems inevitably something goes wrong and I end up making things a confusing mess for myself.

    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";

    I glanced at it. Does that count?

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      No, it's not. You've chosen to use a tool, read and understand the documentation and that of the systems you've chosen to use. There's no magic to anything. Take the time to understand these things.

        To paraphrase Arthur C Clarke, if you can't understand it, it's f*cking magic.
