Well, the smart money is on `use CGI` and call the `param` method. Odds are that you'll eventually have had enough of usign that for more complicated forms and you'll want `CGI::FormBuilder` There are many good CGI tutorials out there, and even the bad ones are worth reading (if only once) In other news `$ENV{PATH_INFO}` will give you all the extra stuff in the url, after your script name, so if your script is host/foo.pl, and the request is made for http://host/foo.pl/clothes/shirt/hawiian, `clothes/shirt/hawiian' will appear in `$ENV{PATH_INFO}` and you simply feed that to a split '/' or some more complicated sub somewhere to map that extra string to some content that matches. (sadly, I don't have a pre-wrapped nugget-o-code to show off with, although i'd love to) merlyn also has some wicked-mad articlesl on stonehenge that you may be interested in oggling the now-defunct WebTechniques Magazine. - the Magazine is defunct, not the info therein. `@_=qw; ask f00li5h to appear and remain for a moment of pretend better than a lifetime;;s;;@_[map hex,split'',B204316D8C2A4516DE];;y/05/os/&print;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Excellent! I've got that working fine, but... When I run the data through a SELECT query for a MySQL database it says that it is not in the database which is weird because that is where it came from in the first place. (This is a work around for an IE bug.) If I hard code the data it finds it in the database. This works: `my ($cat) = "Animals";` Even though the data is the same this doesn't: `my ($cat) = param(butCat);` I haven't been able to find an answer in MySQL or Perl tutorials so far. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

In other news, Ovid wrote a failry security focused CGI tutorial that you may want to read over `@_=qw; ask f00li5h to appear and remain for a moment of pretend better than a lifetime;;s;;@_[map hex,split'',B204316D8C2A4516DE];;y/05/os/&print;`	[reply] [d/l]
