Hi!

I have a small problem:

a have a database containing three fields
number, timestamp, used

i allready inserted into the "number" fileds about 50.000 random and
unique numbers - timestamp and used are empty

With my perl script i have to do the following:
look into the database for the first entry with having timestamp and
used empty
then updating the timestamp field with the actual date.

My script then in addtion presents the number to the customer via
webinterface.

the next time i run the script the same procedure must be repeated, so
finding the first empty entry (empty timestamp field) and then updating
this filed with a timestamp.

How can i realize this with using perl ? Any advice? How to connect to
database using perl i allready know but iam trying to find out how
manage this small problem the most easy way...
Thanks in advance
Sascha
