1st. Your right about the misplaced chomp. I seem to have posted a slightly older version of my code, that was simply an attempt. But it returned 1 just like it should have, so I put it back.

2nd. Thanks for the open or die line, I hadn't been doing it like that before, my way took roughly 8 lines I think.

3rd. I know about un-tainting from the first few chapters of the Ovid CGI course, but I never finished it because I moved to the O'Reilly Learning Perl book. I'm going to finish Ovid's once I'm done that book.
No one can access this document from the outside world other then me, so for now I think I'm pretty safe.

Thanks,
Chris (boston,USA)
