sorry for the late reply first of all ,i started a blog based on perl(never programmed a web back end before), i was planning to use a cookie for holding in all the details of a user loading them from the database like name, b'day ,qualification etc ,such that i can use them in the posts they make so that they don't need to put em in .i was doubting using a variable derived from db data instead of a string,i figured it out anyways that its possible.sorry about all the mess.
