G'day greywolf

ok thanks, i'll try that...
( I know the mySQL commands are good, I tested them from the shell by copying and pasting, worked fine... )

I know about CGI::carp, I am using the script in an SSI situation and to have huge error messages printed out disturbs the tables a lot and is hard to read... so i've just been reading it out of the server logs

Thanks for your help!

Cheers
