in reply to cgi programming...

Or, even better, you could just continue using the object-oriented interface you started with and call $cgi->tr, $cgi->td, and $cgi->param instead.

Oh - and use CGI; is sufficient if you're working with OO interfaces. You don't need the ":all" quantifier.

And, I'm being serious here. Don't mix the procedural and OO interfaces. CGI can handle it, but that's because it's a helluva module. Most module authors aren't that nice, talented, motivated, and/or have that much time.

    that's a great tip about not mixing to different things (procedural and OO interfaces).
    Im still new in perl programming and generaly in programming.
    i've tried to get rid off the ":all" quantifer but i get the following error:
    Undefined subroutine &main::param called at phbookad.pl line 13.
    i think the solution is the $cgi->param you told me, but i dont (still) know how to use it. any tip would be usefull.
    thank you
