in reply to CGI coding style

Believe it or not, princepawn has a nice list of CGI "simplifiers" (as I like to call them). I can strongly recommend CGI::Application but I also know that HTML::Mason is very popular. The use of HTML::Template can very quickly and cleanly clean up your Perl script. Give 'em all a try, some work in combination for ultra-sleek Perl scripts- especially if you're doing DB stuff.
AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.
