Must be because there's always a sucker who does....
Perhaps... but I was feeling charitable, and there's the slimmest of chances that providing examples with admonishment might lead the OP to learn something. After all, the code I provided is useless to anyone without modification.

It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.

You guys crack me up. The fact is I have done work and searched a good bit for the answer but I suppose I was looking in the wrong place. Although I don't expect people to write code for me I do think it is very helpful if someone who wants to share their knowledge without all the "make you feel guilty" attitude just posts some code that they have already written. Remember, everyone was new at Perl at some point. If you did all the research yourself and never used anyone else's code then codos to you but my guess is that most everyone has used other people's code at some point.
Anyway, to the one that greatly helped me with posting some code, thank you very very much!!!!! | [reply] |
I won't deny that RTFM'ing can be hard, especially with a documentation base as huge as CGI.pm's. The relevent section in the docs is right here, by the way. I found it by searching for the token 'param()' and yes, the parens are very necessary. :)
Good luck to you, and why not just sign in and attach a user name to your presence? We can
only bark, we can't bite. ;)
