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
