First, I have virtually no knowledge of Perl. I'm working with some Perl script downloaded from PayPal, which is my client's choice for receiving payments on the web site I'm developing for her. She sells an online business course, and buyers are purchasing access to password protected web pages. Would someone take a look at the script I've got? I want it to automatically create a username and password for each buyer upon purchase AND to automatically email this username/password info to the buyer. My Perl script can be seen at this url: http://www.empoweringvision.com/site/perl.html I think some additional code is needed in order to enable the 2 automated functions I described. Any specific code you can suggest would be well nigh life-saving. Thank so kindly...
