OK, you're totally right, I should have printed my code 8^( I figured that
it would be totally easy... then I remembered that I'm a noobie and
everything is confusing 8^)
First, let me say that I'm trying to get work to buy me a Perl book, but
money at the state is tight these days. I've even gone to the *library* and
they don't have the Perl books. 8^( Oh well, that's what the Perl community
is for, right?
When the line below is commented out the only thing that gets output to the
browser window is the Start Over link
#
#push @Draw, [ split /\|/ ] while <FILE>;
#
Ok, the two parts that I'm having trouble with are:
1) getting the file data into an array (which you've helped me with so
far)...
2) printing that array out in the table at the bottom of the code.

#include <stdlib.h>

};
my @Deck; # The whole deck, orderd
my @Draw; # The current, shuffled deck
my @playedCards = param("playedCardsHidden") || "";
my @playedCardsCheckbox = param("playedCardsCheckbox") || "";
my @discardCards = param("discardCardsHidden") || "";
my @discardCardsCheckbox = param("discardCardsCheckbox") || "";
my $iterate;
my $random;
my $control;
my $counter = 0;
my $valueName;
my $turnCounter = param("turnCounter") || 0;
# if the update button has NOT been pressed.
# e.g. when the page is just run for the first time.
if (param("update") eq "no" || param("update") eq undef){
open (DECK,"deck.txt");
# when the line below is commented out
# the only thing that gets output to the browser window
# is the Start Over link (yes, when I uncomment the one
# below, I comment out the @Deck = <DECK>; line.)
#push @Draw, [ split /\|/ ] while <FILE>;
# this (as you well know) just gets each line in my file
@Deck = <DECK>;
close DECK;
@Draw = @Deck;
&Randomize (\@Draw);
# Run this code whenever the "End turn" button is pressed
}else{
$turnCounter += 1;
# Perform all the actions related to
# @inPlay
# Perform all the actions related to
# @inDiscard
# Perform all the actions realted to
# @Draw
# end of the "update" if/else loop
