Getting username from .htaccess protection?
Wow, that's quite a bit of work! I'll copy it, and test both that and the $ENV ones Thanks! Danny -
Hash inside hash - database?
Well, I think MySQL sounds best then. As it'll probably be very small to start with, and it may grow to a few hundred members. Thanks to everyone for the pov's, I'll make sure if I'll take them into consideration each time I need a database! Thanks again, Tupps -
Hash inside hash - database?
I wanted to use perl, as it seems to parse files and text quite quick. I need something I can both read and write data too (unlike some things I downloaded which don't have a feature to actually write the data!!)... I'm getting confused... TIMTOWTDI!!! :-? Oh well, I may go back to my original... -

HTML form plus Perl script
You could also try cgi-resources.com, they have hundreds of form-2-mail scripts. This may sound a stupid question, but you definately have Perl access, and are putting the script in your cgi-bin and checking it has the right permissions? -
Hash inside hash - database?
I'm gonna write a forum in Perl, and I just wondered the best way to store the member details. I didn't want to read through each member file just to load their "number of posts" or something each time someone views a topic, so I thought about using hashes, eg: $users = {...
