Ouch! You need to learn about CGI.pm. That would have reduced your program to about half its size, and eliminated the need for the 30 lines of cargo-culted ancient code.

Setting up your %formdata hash would have been as simple as:

use CGI qw(param);
for (param()) {
  $formdata{$_} = param($_);
}

Nope. Fails on multi-valued parameters, using that old ugly `\0` convention. Mine just grabs the "first" one. (And I thought of that while I was typing mine in.) -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

ok, I read the perldoc. It seems I have been doing a lot of extra work indeed. I'll study the scripts of others better and pray to the big camel that I may become a better monk soon. ;) teabag chmod 666 . 'cause everyone should have the right to read and write!	[reply]
