in reply to MySQL gone Away

Since you already had your MySQL replies, I'll concentrate on your Perl :-)

Without loss of readability, you could compact your code in:

open(FILE,"<".$filename) || die ("Could not open FILE"); $data .= $_ foreach <FILE> ; # for example close(FILE);

Ciao!
--bronto

# Another Perl edition of a song:
# The End, by The Beatles
END {
  $you->take($love) eq $you->make($love) ;
}

    Why iterate, when you can get the whole file in one big slurp?
    { local $/ = undef; open(FILE,"<".$filename) || die ("Could not open: $!"); $data = <FILE>; close(FILE); }

    OmG! They killed tilly! You *bleep*!!

      Only for the sake of KISS, nothing more and nothing less.

      Ciao!
