Hi i subscribed to all of the mailing lists at learn.perl.org. Unfortunately there are
about 200 Mails i recieve daily only from perl.org's subscriptions. But i like them

If I turn on "strict" the code aborts due to the errors mentioned above. If
I turn off "strict" then the e-mail is sent but I receive the message "the

Hello,
It's the "shift". In the sub, "shift" is grabbing an argument (the number
being passed in). Outside of the sub ... well, it's not doing what you
expect.
Looks like you want pack() to operate on the value of $str. So, try
substituting $str for that "shift", i.e.:
$str = unpack("B32"
It's been some time since I've done any access programming but the error
your getting is consistent with using a reserved world for a table or field

According to the below reference from Microsoft's site the world 'Full' is

The following sub is in the Perl Cookbook, section 2.4.1(Converting Between Binary and

0(zero). What am missing?

Hi. I'm trying to get a better handle on writing to files and checking

Yes, using the 'print header' from CGI.pm is a good idea. However, if

Is DBI some sort of implementation of Win32::ODBC or is it an entity in and of itself?
The reason I ask is because Brett said this:

I don't quite understand this one. If your script works when the form
