You are right; I saw that piece of code in one of Matt's scripts.

You don't need to apologise; I am glad that you warned me. At some point, I would need to handle multiple selection boxes...

In fact, I decided to use CGI.pm some time earlier, and I began with a code I saw at http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/ . But I got some error messages and I inferred that the CGI.pm library was not installed on my server. (I don't have root access.)
I used
use CGI qw(:standart)
.
May be you can help me out? Did I make a mistake? Thanks for your help!

    CGI.pm has been a standard part of Perl for some years now (since 5.004_04 I think). If you have an earlier version than that then you'll need to get it installed (but if you have an earlier version than that on a web server then you have major security holes anyway).

    I'm assuming that it's a typo, but you have mis-spelt 'standard' in your sample above. Is that the problem?

    If you let me know what errors you're getting, then I'd be happy to help you track them down.

      No, that's just a typo...

      I looked at my previous files, I think I deleted the code when I failed to get it working. But when I try it a second time, I certainly will ask you if I get any problem like that.

      I don't know the Perl version, but I do not think it is and early version...
      Thank you very much.:-)
        If you want to figure out which version of perl you have type "perl -v" in the terminal.
