Re: Using Perl to fight Spam

Welcome to Perl land ;-)

For starters I don't think you need a DBI book - there is very much online about it, and the DBI documentation is quite a good start.

I don't quite understand your security problem, could you describe what's the problem, and how you want to improve your situation?

It seems like you want to add another software layer, and hope that it improves security. Usually that doesn't work. It sounds like adding more walls to house to increase stability, when in fact the base needs to be reinforced.

(BTW you can add paragraphs to your nodes with the <p> tags, that helps to improve readability. See Writeup Formatting Tips for details.)

For starters I don't think you need a DBI book Agreed. And the only DBI book is way outdated and will be a waste of money IMHO. I'd like to see a newer edition though...	[reply]

For perl based spam protection try ASSP. It can probably do what you want already with very little work. Not to mention it's very very good :) http://assp.sourceforge.net/	[reply]
