in thread Not my first program, but the first I'll share...

pekkhum, if you are using the Elizabeth Castro book, like I did, you will find that you will have to unlearn some stuff to conform with methods in the monastery. I recommend you switch to the O'Reilly books, Learning Perl (Llama book), Programming Perl (Camel book), and CGI Programming in Perl. Invaluable.

Speaking of invaluable: HTML::Template! BTW, the module is not called Template, but HTML::Template.

Appreciate your bravery in posting your code, I've learned a lot by following the thread. You don't get better teachers than the likes of davido and Coruscate.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I've been saving up for those books for a while, but with my mainboard blown, I'm gonna be to broke, for a long time. ^_^ The Castro book is a great first step, but now I am indeed trying to learn as much as I can from the monastary. I need all the help I can get. Anyone here is welcome to message me on my AIM name, pekkhum. (Only AIM for now, since my private computer is dead.

    Also, I can't compile the HTML::Template module due to the sadly limited scope of my (Free) Perl interpreter, I need to find one compiled for ActivePerl 5.8.0 on Windows XP. Anyone know a site that has it?

      HTML::Template is available as a ppm file from Activestate. You should be able to install from ppm. It worked on mine, in any case.
