Thank you for explaining the difference between calling

That's a good point. Are there still advantages to using Perl over using
PHP? I'd be bummed to hear I'm using a dying language.

99% of my databases have been small, so flatfile databases are fine, the Perl can
handle it as well as the servers. When you get into hundreds of thousands of records,
that's different-- then you need something stable, fast, and flexible.

Relational databasing just means that there are keys associated between the
different databases that allows the database software to easily make matches
from one database table to another very quickly and efficiently. I don't

David,
You are the man. That worked. Just when I was figuring out that this
was a variable interpolation problem.
I could use $URL4 instead of $URL2, and it still wasn't interepreted
as a variable, and $URL4 wouldn't be "declared" anywhere in the
program.
Thanks man!
