This may be what you are looking for: Put your receiving variables html into a cgi prog, pass the variables with the submit button to this cgi prog in which, I think, you can still use your html templates as long as they are accessed by the full url. Let me know if this works out. >Hi Michae

No. MySQL would be overkill for an application like this unless you're talking about several thousand lines. Otherwise you can just use something like... my $foo = "/path/to/file"; open(INFILE,"<$foo"); my @records = ; close(INFILE); for(@records) { chomp; my ($rec,$band,$artist) = sp

I am not familiar with cvsweb.cgi, but it looks like the path you define is definitely in @INC. Did you try placing a copy of strict.pm elsewhere and unshifiting into @INC with a BEGIN block just to test it? It shouldn't be necessary with strict but I'm at a loss considering what you show as in

That will work for people that have Javascript enabled in their browsers, which is the majority, but it's not everyone. Better to handle it server side to guarantee it works (or at least you will have more of a guarantee than with client side Javascript). Have you looked into the LWP module?
