Thank you for your comments and advice. The article that you sent me was an interesting read. Also, thanks for the module references. They are handy to know about. Regarding what you said about the modules, it's not that I am unable or unwilling to install a module, but it is doubtful that I can convince my school to install the appropriate modules onto the CGI server that I would be placing this program on. Thanks again for you help. I really appreciate your time.
