in thread Perl Database Paging

If that's the code you're trying to run, I see a few problems. I'll take it for granted that you've just edited out the declarations and assignments for the database connection strings, and when I put dummy assignments back in, the script compiles ok. But… Eventually you'll want to switch over to using a template module - store your page layout as an HTML(ish) plain-text template file, and let the module plug in all the context-dependent variables for you. But that's a slightly bigger step for later.
