Sirs and Madams, I've recently been more or less dumped into the world of perl. (Not that this is a bad thing.) My boss wants a savable and retrievable form. The form I made (http://www.nscl.msu.edu/~singleto/Workshop/detector-lab-wo.html). I even managed to set up an e-mail function. Sending those keyed values to a database and being able call them back at will based on a keyword or even a table of links remains a mystery. Unfortunately, I seem to get lost somewhere between print "Hello World!\n"; and Open (WORDSLIST, "wordslist"); in the grand old llama book. I've been scouring the web for existing code that someone might wish to share which would considerably lighten my load, but I've yet to find any. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Float me a clue? Help?
