Re^4: Truely Unique Code Set?

If you have access to the MySQL database from the machine you are running the script on you can instead insert the data directly into the database using DBI and DBD::mysql.

Thanks GrandFather, I did wonder about that. I guess my next step is to see if those modules are already installed with PERL 5.8.8 - as a newbie with PERL, I've had some prior trouble attempting to install modules from CPAN etc... Cheers, Rich.

Neither are core modules. DBI should be a normal install. DBD::mysql may require MySQL development files installed on your machine first and can be a bit tricky depending on the OS you are using.

Thanks again! I'm struggling to find time to read up on this right now as many competing projects need doing. But thanks for the pointers and i'll check them out. R
