First of all, I guess you are WAY behind on your e-mail. I posted that question back in 
mid-November. Second, the site that this will be on is very DB-driven. In my case it just 
makes sense to use a DB.

Without knowing more about the OP's design how can you possibly 
determine whether a DB is or isn't the right implementation. Maybe the 
OP needs to generate images for 10,000 unique numbers, doing this with 
file operations would be incredibly slow compared to a DB. Or maybe the 
information is already stored in the DB to generate the numbers, so 
would you suggest pulling the info from a DB, storing it to a file, and 
then re-reading the file?  Seems a bit silly... Besides the OP's 
question wasn't about getting the numbers it was about creating gifs

Hi,
Does anyone know is it possible to call javascript from perl? Can
javascript be included in the same page? Can anyone provide an example
of

this?
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
How do you mean "call javascript from Perl"?  In general Javascript is a
client side language that executes within a browser (client).  Perl on
the other hand is traditionally a server side language, executed on the
server (conveniently).   So CGI is *usually* used to send some HTML like
stuff to the client, what that stuff is really doesn't matter, as long
as the client can understand what the heck to do with it.  So if you are
asking whether a Perl based CGI script can send Javascript down that
particular pipe then sure, if you want Javascript to use the values and
methods of Perl, etc. then you will have to work out how to convert
those into Javascript and then use them as if they are not linked.
Having said that, this is the general case, clients and Javascript can
be more powerful than they are often given credit for so more extreme
tasks can be accomplished, but with complexity comes learning curve...

Why do you want it?  I hope you're not trying to base an authentication
system around it?

A unique user is not an IP address.
A unique IP address is not a user.

For example, many millions of users use AOL's proxy servers.  On a
given "hit" from a page, the various image fetches will come from many
different machines.  (I can demonstrate it if you want).

And given that this already outnumbers any other significant userbase
for your website... I think I can safely say "logging IP addresses is
OK, but using them to define unique users will totally fail".
