I must confess I did not realize that. I am just beginning to write cgi-scripts based on Perl - and I have not worked myself into the possibilities of working with databases yet. I just use flat two flat files with the exact number of lines in both of them and align them according to the hits I get that I derive from the Query_String. Does anybody see chance of avoiding databases and using a SQL-like statement such as NOT?
