Re: Re: Sub-initiate needs help getting started

Next, get yourself a copy of Perl - obviously. :) ActiveState's is good for windows.

The OP stated that the app is already up and running on a Unix box. AS might be useful to take home on a laptop for practice, though.

You're right. After re-reading the post I realized I missed that point. There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.	[reply]

OK. Glad I never do that - yeah, right! To the original poster, Lori: Beware, the perl on your Unix box may be MUCH older than what you download from ActiveState today. Once you get commandline access, issue: `perl -v` [download] to get the version number. It may actually make more sense to install an older version on your laptop (or other machine) if you don't have convenieint access to the main machine or an identical test machine. Though given your situation, you probably should arrange convenient access to a sutiable test environment, complete w/ SQL db and webserver - you're going to need it. --Bob Niederman, http://bob-n.com All code given here is UNTESTED unless otherwise stated.
