I really appreciate your comments.
Fortunately I have a spare pc that I am not using very
much right now. It has windows 98.
I have been very hesitant at putting apache or similar
on it b/c of the learning curve thing.
It looks like I am headed that direction though.

Thanks for the help with sort. Anyone aware of a module to connect to a
remote host over the old DECnet LAT protocol? cpan yielded no matches but I
thought maybe there was something out there...

My advise is run a linux machine with an Apache webserver and use Mod_Perl.
How scalable do you want it? How scalable does it really need to be? How
about security?
I have worked for two different companies in the last 5 years.the first used
HP-UX and Sun Solaris and the latter Linux. I would go

Hey, I just found this:

MSDE is MS SQL Server with a few key differences:
1. no GUI administration tools
2. maximum database size (2 GB?)
3. maximum concurrent connections (10?)
4. doesn't support automated backups (fixed in version 7 SP2)
I'm not 100% certain of the figures for #2 and 3, but MSDE is really meant

Thanks for the comments.
yes I am currently on windows platform.
The 255 length is for the varchar type.
I guess i will have to look into PostgreSQL.
I would be willing to learn another operating system

Just parse each line ($a and $b) within your sort subroutine, e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/perl
sub sorter {
my (@a,@b);
@a = split(/\s+/,$a);
@b = split(/\s+/,$b);
@a[1] <=> @b[1];
}
@lines = <>;
print sort sorter @lines;

You can write your own procedure to sort data however you want. perldoc -f sort
should give you a start. Supposing that you have this stored as an array of
references to an array, you could do something like
sort { $::a->[1] cmp $::b->[1] } @data
which would sort on the second column.

This is probably really easy but I couldn't find it in the docs. I have a
multicolumn list that has between 5000-6000 lines and looks something like
this:
47 3950 0 Y Y N N OOSM
70 1131 1 N Y N N LKD

You can still pay $$ for 5.5 or 6.5 if you want official support. I used
the MPL'd 6.01 extensively several months ago as an intermediate step while

You don't have to use global variables unless you want to. I myself prefer
to pass lexically scoped variables i
Another question:-)
All the examples I've come across so far for Perl/TK All seem to use global
variables like there's no tomorrow? (i.e. A variable is declared inside the
MainLoop() portion and then all the callbacks edit or manipulate that

Currently I am basically set up to use perl and an

Well, what I'm about to say IS directed at MySQL. I don't understand why

SAP DB is indeed great and very much underused in my view. It's really
robust, it's got a very good SQL implementation plus good interfaces, it
scales well, and unless you have a madly growing or otherwise extremely
troublesome database it can run stably without any maintenance at all for
years on

Yes, try Tk::getOpenFile which uses the native Win32 file picker on Windows.
There's also a directory picker called Tk::DirSelect which has a custom
