Hello juerd,

as it seems to be a cgi script, imho die is more complicated (500-error) than unless with a proper structure.

Thank you for | => \|, since it indeed is wrong.

I know, that foreach slurps in the file at once. I wanted to avoid the game with the invisible variable $_ with while(<FILE>), and don't like while (defined ($_ = <FILE> )), because you have to know a lot about to understand it correctly.

I decided to write the example the way I did because it might be rather clear if you already know another programming language, even if it doesn't look very 'perlish'.

I like your code examples, and in a script maybe I'd write something like that, but for a beginner it might be more complicated because there's so much hidden behind.

Best regards,
perl -e "print a|r,p|d=>b|p=>chr 3**2 .7=>t and t"
