see  and the 
subsection on -dtd and -head

a *seriously* verbose description of the proper doctype header for XML 
is at  and you *should* use 
it. for example

http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/06/xmlspec-v21.dtd";>

CGI.pm emits an XHTML header by default, unless you specify -no_xhtml in 
the invocation of use CGI qw/ :blah -no_xhtml /;

  1.5 - How can I get this FAQ?

This document will be emailed to the list once a month, and will be

Casey West, Kevin Meltzer and Ask Bjoern Hansen currently carry large,
yet padded, clue-sticks to maintain peace and order on the list. If you
are privately emailed by one of these folks for flaming, being
off-topic, etc... please listen to what they say. If you see a message
sent to the list by one of these people saying that a thread is closed,
do not continue to post to the list on that thread! If you do, you will
not only meet face to face with a XQJ-37 nuclear powered pansexual
roto-plooker, but you may also be taken off of the list. These people
simply want to make sure the list stays topical, and above-all, useful
to Perl/CGI beginners.

  1.11 - When was this FAQ last updated?

Sept 07, 2001

2 -  Questions about the 'beginners-cgi' list.
  2.1 - What is the list for?

A list for beginning Perl programmers to ask questions in a friendly
atmosphere. The topic of the list is, of course, CGI with Perl.

  2.2 - What is this list _not_ for?

* SPAM
* Homework
* Solicitation
* Things that aren't Perl related
* Non Perl/CGI questions or issues
* Lemurs
  2.3 - Are there any rules?

Yes. As with most communities, there are rules. Not many, and ones that
shouldn't need to be mentioned, but they are.

* Be nice
* No flaming
* Have fun
  2.4 - What topics are allowed on this list?

Basically, if it has to do with Perl/CGI , then it is allowed. If your
question has nothing at all to do with Perl/CGI, it will likely be
ignored.

  2.5 - I want to help, what should I do?

Subscribe to the list! If you see a question which you can give an
idiomatic and Good answer to, answer away! If you do not know the
answer, wait for someone to answer, and learn a little.

  2.6 - Is there anything I should keep in mind while answering?

We don't want to see 'RTFM'. That isn't very helpful. Instead, guide the
beginner to the place in the FM they should R :)

  2.7 - I don't want to post a question if it is in an FAQ. Where should I
look first?

Look in the FAQ! Get acquainted with the 'perldoc' utility, and use it.
It can save everyone time if you look in the Perl FAQs first, instead of
having a list of people refer you to the Perl FAQs :) You can learn
about 'perldoc' by typing:

`perldoc perldoc'

At your command prompt. You can also view documentation online at:

http://www.perldoc.com and http://www.perl.com

3 - Other Resources
  3.1 - What other websites may be useful to a beginner ?

* Perl Home Page - http://www.perl.com
* PerlMonks - http://www.perlmonks.org
* Perldoc - http://www.perldoc.com
* Perl Archives - http://www.perlarchives.com
  3.2 - What resources may be harmful to a beginner?

Beware of Perl4-like code-- You might find some script archives and
unauthorized mirrors with old Perl4 versions of Selena Sol and Matt
Wright scripts. Don't use those scripts. They are outdated and may even
in some cases contain bugs or security problems since many may not have
been 

Cookie check problem

[Andre` Niel Cameron]

I hate to ask but why isnt this thing sending me to the frames page if I
already have the cookie?

&Get_Cookie;

if (exists($cookie{'SessionID'})) {

&MainFrames_Page;

} else {

&login_page;
}

}

Re: Quick question

[Mark Murphy]

Andre-

How about simply multiplying by 10,100 or what ever you need then
dropping the remaining decimal

I.E.  Int(100*rand(18));
