I highly doubt it was found in an O'Reilly book -- if it was, perhaps it was from BEFORE CGI.pm was created -- it uses local() and what-not. I'd suggest using CGI.pm, really. >to prevent buffer overruns or excessive memory consumption resulting >from POST data. Is there a default maximum for buffer size and for bytes >recieved via POST? If so, what are these maximums? And, coming from a >total newbee, does CGI.pm deal with this better? If so, how? CGI.pm allows you to restrict the size of a query. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
