Yep, I'm a beginner, but you can't learn without trying things out. No offense at all was taken by you observing this, I appreciate the input and especially the caution. I've got the first edition of "programming perl." the third edition is out and perhaps I should buy it. Would you (or someone) suggest "programming perl" or "learning perl"? Another one is "Cgi programming with perl" Thanks again, blake _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
