After searching through the Perl Bookshelf CD, I have found that you can declare a global and then use local() to change that value for a block of code. I haven't found how to use a value from within a block of code outside that block of code though. Is this possible? I'm sure I just don't know what to search for in the bookshelf.
EXAMPLE: ======================================== while (my(@row) = $sth1->fetchrow_array) { my ($total) = $row[0]; print "Total Scanned:\t $total\n"; } print "Total:\t $total\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
