Hello Ken.

'tie' is a Perl language word and doesn't have to be installed. What you
do need is a module that implements a class that you can tie variables
to. You need to say more about what it is you're trying to do before we
can help.

There are many ways to pass data between processes, and the technique
you should choose depends on the size and nature of the data, and how
often it is altered. Why are you so sure you don't want to render it as
text first?

Take a look at

  perldoc perlipc

which should help you get started.

Thanks
I have been looking at IPC as well.
Seems like the basic open() may be a viable solution.

I want to take a page with records displayed in HTML table with Check Boxes,
select some records to be deleted, and pass the selected records to a
confirmation page and then delete or cancel.

How to pass the selected records to a separate script - ?
My communications skills may not be sufficient to say what I am trying to do: I have found that if I try to describe my needs, then I get flamed.... ( "go to school", " RTFM" , "hire help" )
so I am taking baby steps, trying to find out which manuals to read...

Ken
