Fellow Monks, I am beginning work on a new project which requires, in a game setting, information in a mySQL database to be changed as well as accessed. The accessing part is no problem, but I have tried to no avail to find an answer on how to change the actual information in the database through PERL. Example: Your character, Bob, currently has 0 gold belonging to him. By the grace of the local Lord or Lady, he has been awarded 100 gold for his allegience... How, in a perl setting, would this be able to be automatically changed upon this instance? This is a major factor in the project, and it would be extremely helpful if anybody could help me to find the answer. Thanks to All, The Twisted Duke
