Well I did try what I thought was right but planetscape beat me to the punch.

As to the black book being bad? There are some glaring issues. Some style such as the lack of the mantra of use strict; and the CGI stuff is not handled well and some other things.

I was not suggesting it as a beginners book. More for trying to get a concept. I usually review a couple books for something that is stumping me.

I know it's blasphamy but sometimes the cookbook doesn't do it for me. Too thick in the head I guess. ;)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
