G'day dws

Cheers for editing the post as well, looks better thanks.

1. ok, will investigate thanks, I noticed when I first started the error passed to the logs was of a different format, however it still die'ed appropriately.

2. As for 1

3. Yeah, I thought so too and added the extra connect line in an attempt to get it to read out the variables... (sorry should have removed it before posting)

4. Why is this ? If I were to enable carp(fatalsToBrowsers) then obviously a content type header is required first... or is it just to make sure something is printed if the script dies ? I have an error handling subroutine, which prints headers...

5. I was initially using them, but prefered the output I could generate with raw print commands... I guess it's what you're used to... any immediate advantages, CGI.pm over raw HTML ?

6. Ah yes, yes I was, I found that soon after I posted that and still no joy... the script still fails to print any of the variables when requested, meaning they were not correctly retrieved from the mySQL database, something I am able to do by copying and pasting commands from the script into shell based mySQL...

7. I know, to some extent that's just because this script is for a very specific situation, the other reason is, I've just taken it back to step 1 in an attempt to get the mySQL retrieval working...

Cheers once again
