I think that was "KernelKlink"'s point. What if you consider Perl as a

Read up on DBI/DBD::ODBC or Win32::ODBC as well for the database access
and you know everything you need to know (except for some nasty
performance issues :-).
Unless of course you want to have your CGI running on a Unix/Linux
machine. Then it gets a bit more technical because there is no way to
use an MS Access database (file) under Unix. In this case you need a
second computer with Win 95/98/NT connected via some appropriate
middleware.

I just answewred this question a couple of weeks ago. Randal Schwartz did
just this in a column in Web Techniques
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col31.listing.txt
I've used the script a bunch. It doesn't do forms, I just use placeholders and
fix manually.

Now, I know this code will not work:
$founddata[0]{'name'}='Chris';
$founddata[0]{'age'}='27';
$founddata[1]{'name'}='Fred';
$founddata[1]{'age'}='Fred';
$cnt=0;
foreach $one (@founddata){
foreach $key (keys %founddata[$cnt]){
print "$founddata[$cnt]{$key}\n\n";
}
$cnt++;
}
But I need to do the same with legitimate code, anyone know how?
Thanks in advance!

$founddata{0}{name} = ...

Then you can double walk the hash keys.
foreach $index ( keys %founddata ) {
foreach $attr ( keys %{$founddata{$index}} ) {
print "$index $attr $founddata{$index}{$attr}\n";

What you're doing here is substituting the string you're looking for,
not the string you matched.
Use either
$string =~ s/$_/<FONT COLOR=DARKRED>$&<\/FONT>/gi;
or
$string =~ s/($_)/<FONT COLOR=DARKRED>$1<\/FONT>/gi;
The latter is more efficient (I believe) but the former looks nicer.

Just replace it with the actually matched string, not the one you were
looking for:
$string =~ s/($_)/<FONT COLOR=DARKRED>$1<\/FONT>/gi;

Is your syntax based on the syntax in Nisus (wordprocessor), or

Drop the backwhacks before the parens. Backwhacks are for QUOTING

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
