Maureen,
What a coincidence. Yesterday, I posted the next lesson in my online CGI course and
it covers
this very topic.
http://www.easystreet.com/~ovid/cgi_course/lesson_four/lesson_four_2.html
I still need to do a little work on it as some of the terminology isn't exact, but
this should
give you a good starting point.
Cheers,
Curtis "Ovid" Poe

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
