Close, but that matches a single character and doesn't respect locale.

I see. How about:
lc($teststring) eq 'computer administration'
or, given that you're using SQL anyway, how about
$teststring LIKE 'computer administration'

Well, there are lots of answers to that question:
/(?i)computer administration/ #pretty snide answer :)
/computer administration|COMPUTER ADMINISTRATION/
/[cC][oO][mM][pP][uU][tT][eE][rR]
[aA][dD][mM][iI][nN][sS][tT][rR][aA][tT][iI][oO][nN]/
# make sure the above is on one line; newsreader will
# mangle it.
However, the right answer to your problem is not to use a regular
expression; if you're doing an exact match it's useless.

Clever. Maybe in perl6 we'll see a "LIKE" operator as a

You should not do that. There are bugs in lots (most?) of the
"script archive" programs.
You won't recognize the bugs if you don't understand how the

Thanks, but my program is a bit interactive, so paging the program wouldn't
make sense, as it requires input (it's an email program, so you have to
select which message you want read from a list)

Apparently you mean you don't find the perl variable $FileNaam set
to 'text.txt'. Well, why should it? This isn't the way parameters
are handed down to a perl script. What you *will* find is that
$ARGV[ 0] is set to 'FileNaam=test.txt'. There are many ways to
retrieve the filename from that. Here is one:
my $FileNaam = (split '=', $ARGV[ 0])[ 1];
Of course, this is not particularly robust. The traditional way
is just to give the filename on the command line like
query1.cgi test.txt
This way you'd get the filename via
$FileNaam = $ARGV[ 0]
but you'd probably not even need to do that. Just read from
the filehandle ARGV, it will be opened to your file.

Excuses, i will resolve the variable $FileNaam in query1.cgi as
follows:
use CGI;
$FileNaam = param('FileNaam');
if (!$FileNaam)
{
print "Not Filled";

Your problem has nothing to do with Perl.
It has to do with how your web server is setup (and it sounds like
you don't even *have* a web server. You need a web server to run
CGI programs in a CGI environment. You can run CGI programs in
a command line environment if you are clever enough to use
the CGI.pm module).
So, go get a free web server for your home computer (www.apache.org).
If you have server setup questions in the future, then you should
ask them in a server newsgroup, not here in clpmisc:
comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac
comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix

encouraged that in the year 1000, they had to add a new digit, and yet
no evidence of economic disruption. And then a millennium before, we
had dates going down, and then they started going up, and yet no evidnce
of disruption of chaos in the economy. So if they could do it then,
surely we can deal with it now, it seems to me."

Administrivia:
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.
