Re: Creating a random generator

Hello Lady Aleena! Welcome to the Monastery, may your stay with us be long and full of learning.

One thing which everyone seems to have forgotten to ask, is: "Are you sure the web-server your program is going to run on has Perl installed?"

If not, you are really out-of-luck and will have to look elsewhere for your program.

Perl is not something you can just "embed" in your HTML-code and have it magically run and produce the wanted results.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

CountZero...I am pretty sure that my server has Perl installed since I have forms on my site which have form handlers which I think are written in Perl. The file extensions are .pl. A very long time ago I had to do some weird stuff with those files, which I can't remember now, to make them work. All I remember was that it was weird.	[reply]
