in reply to Updating a mysql row

Yes, do it exactly as you suggested... except you really should use bound parameters to avoid SQL injection attacks. Alternately you can use DBI's quote method

Something like this:

my $sql = q{UPDATE now_time SET time= NOW(), location=?, count=count+1 + WHERE ip=?}; $dbh->do($sql,{}, $ENV{HTTP_REFERER}, $userip) or die $dbh->errstr;
