If so, I’ll make sure to mention the error instead of just saying “it doesn’t work”. ;) That’s what I get for letting too much time pass before asking a question.

Perl reserved words
Is ‘vendor’ a reserved word of some type in either Perl, MySQL, or DBM? I tried to add a ‘vendor’ field to SurfShop but it didn’t work. I don’t recall exactly what happened now (sorry), but I had to settle on another word to get it to work. Any ideas on what it could have been?
