note kazak I'm glad that my "code" made you laugh. To post a code written by a newbie and expect that none will laugh is too naive even for a child, so it's ok, anyway thanks for advices. <p>About: writing to /tmp...</p> <p>I made it for debugging purposes. Sure it may be unneeded but at this point I'm using things I'm familiar with. </p> <p> About:\"\"\"\" is PAINFUL, use qq{""""} </p> <p>Thx, I'll use it.</p> <p>About: fetchrow_hashref docs warn you about storing the reference but you store it anyway -- your data is all duplicates -- might as well fetchall instead Tutorials->Database Programming->DBI recipes</p> <p>Thanks for a clue, I will read about it</p> 996641 996647
