Greatly appreciated! That answers a lot of questions. I've spent hours upon hours diving head first into Perl with online tutorials, books, etc, so needless to say, my head is spinning! Sometimes you just need a forum to straighten out a few questions that arise.

By the way, I got that form to "POST" the visitors info. in my email. I also copied the OVID CGI lesson you all recommended and already see how it will clarify many more questions. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!!! (sorry 'bout the caps)
