Hello dalman and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

You'll learn that here more effort from your part you show better and targeted answers you'll get.

For instance you composed one of the worst node title ever.. But dont worry you'll learn to do it better.

> pull .cgi data into a .pl script in @argv

means almost nothing to me, or too much: HTML? cgi params? What you want to achieve? what you tried?

As general rule you must show us some sketch of your code and some sample data and how you want to transform it.

Feel free to continue this thread adding another post with more useful informations.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
