Hi,
If you are moving from a ten-line Javascript routine to perl, do you cgi first on a
simple form with two or t\hree fields. You must learn to crawl before you try to run
a marathon.
When you've made a couple simple cgi forms work, and get back to this, here are some
preliminary tips:
1) Dump the lists of variables within your program. Anything you would name in a
pattern like that would be better in an array, probably a two-dimensional on.
2) When you have simplified your program variables to a simple array, use a nested
loop to move through the form variables you receiveand assign them to elements of your
program array.
3) Give your variables meaningful names. Data, dato, or d tells you absolutely
nothing about what kind of information you are dealing with, and therefore provides no
guidelines for evaluating whether your processing makes sense.. It will be much
easier to keep track of the process if you are making reference to something concrete.
