My apologies. Let me explain better...
In the dbm file will be the array with the customer's email address with a
value of 1 or 0 next to it. This way we have a list of who visited the page
and downloaded the file. When I run the script again to send out the mass
emails pulled from the dbm file, anyone who has a value of 1 will not be
sent the email.
Right now I have the HTML with POST in it to grab the data and the go to the
perl script to add the data to the dbm file. My problem is I do not know how
to start the script and tell it to use the data inputted from the site and
place it into the dbm file.
I hope this helps more and thank you for your help in advance!
Chris

Perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do with the
email address we can help better.
