Thank you for your suggestion.
I would like to filter by $name, as that field is the person who posted the initial forum message. I can't figure out the logic needed to display the information like this:
- display three (3) of the latest forum messages
- from the forums specified within the script
- categorized and listed by the authors (moderators) with their pictures, also specified within the script
Quite honestly, I posted here as I don't have the necessary advanced skills to complete this non-profit volunteer project. Thanks again to the Perl Monks community for your feedback, suggestions and patience. I hope to find a coding solution for this Perl new.cgi program.
