I have a form to input some user information that I need to insert and redisplay from an Access database. So far, in every tutorial I've seen about reading data from a database, my $sth = $dbh->prepare("sql statements") and I understand that for retrieving data, but what about inserting data then retrieving? I don't think I would be able to use two my $sth = $dbh->prepare("sql statements"), one to insert and one to retrieve. I'm pretty new to perl but am very interested in learning. If this is an easy problem and you'd rather not just give me the answer, a point in the right direction would help greatly. I know that I have alot to learn about Perl, but it seems that this shouldn't be a major problem, I just can't seem to figure out the proper way of making it work. Any help is appreciated.
