Thankyou! for (1..1000000);

Thankyou at two levels.

1) For taking the time to follow this up for me, and for the Dump-a-dir link. I really wish I had read this a week ago!!

2) For making me feel sane again. The very fact that someone of merlyn's stature says:

Getting the HTML and URI escaping right for creating links and labels is fun, not!

...makes feel better, cos it has taken me a week and the assistance of many good folks here to get this to work. I was really beginning to beleive that I was thick (which I may still be, but this isn't proof!:).

I guess that it was bad luck to pick this as my first try at Perl! Still hopefully I've learned stuff that I might not otherwise have done.
