I have a perl form that records to a MySql database. Every time someone
uses the form and enters quoted text in a text box or text area the record
is not sent. Is there a way to allow quoted text to be processed? Any
recommendations?
Thanks in advance

I've seen lots of references to telnet, but I can't find an explanation of
what it actually is. Is it similar to FTP?
Hi Sally
Telnet is a tcp/ip based terminal emulation program. You can open a session
on remote hosts and perform actions directly as would you sit in front of
the machine working with a console window.
Ftp (file transfer protocol) is just one of the dozens of protocols that
exist in the tcp/ip
Personally, when I'm writing for others (particularly beginners, like here
in the tutorial), I prefer to use the print statement as the author did, or
a heredoc. It's explicit and obvious, and the reader can see precisely what
is to be generated. I have been known, instead, to use the
OK, so you know about srand, after that the Perl command is pretty easy.
$A = int (rand (NUMBER))
This generates a random integer between 0 and NUMBER, including 0 but not
including number - e.g int (rand (5)) will give 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4.
'rand' generates a random number up to the value defined

I find the general level of detail here a bit advanced for a 'beginner'.
My mind whirls with questions such as
'Why our $variable?'
'Why class?'
'Why not CGI.pm?'
Can the presentation not be simplified so that we see the solution to the
primary problem first, and then
The CGI module is not supposed to export any functions
without their being explicitly requested.
Maybe you have a version that someone else hacked? No matter.
I honestly wouldn't know .. all of the functionality seems to be there.
Also, since you are already using CGI.pm, why not take

That's *almost* correct. CGI.pm also states the charset that the document is to

You can run telnet from a DOS prompt by entering telnet hostname or server
on the command line.

Good points Curtis and thanks for your answers; I've applied (and
understood) all your advices but when I fill the forms with valid entries,
the submit is still passing wrong
Can we see your updated form code? I've fixed the problems curtis described
below in a copy here, and called a perl script that just accepts the params
and prints them, and it works fine. It may be a misplaced operation, that
would be obvious to a new pair of eyes (hey, I can never see MY bugs:

Telnet has been available on Windows since Windows 95, and you can do
these exact same things of things.

cgi.pm is part of the standard perl installation. does the box you're
developing on have a recent installation of perl?
you can find out the version by typing 'perl -v' at a command prompt.
If, for some reason, CGI.pm is not installed on the server, I believe you
can place it in the folder where you are going to run the script (i.e your
cgi-bin.
That may pose some security issues I'm not aware of, but if all else fails
