Hi, I'm setting cookies, and reading them just fine, but how do I delete a cookie. I'm setting the cookie via the print header(-cookie => $cookie); method. Do I just overwrite it, or what? I tried delete(cookie('name')), unlink(cookie('name')) and several others, but to no avail. I've read...

I'm trying to come up with a Perl back button in my scripts. I know using the referer will produce this, and generally suits me fine, but sometimes I want to return to the prior invocation of my script and retain the exact state it was in. So, using the self_url() returns the current state of...

Hi, let's say I have: @numbers = qw/34 56 78 83 23 99 10/; How can I find the "sum" of all the elements in the array? I've tried pushing a "+" (plus sign) into the array and adding it up that way, but there has to be a better way. The total is 383, but, I don't know the routine to follow to...

Hi, I know the subject line is not very expressive of my dilema, but what I'm trying to accomplish is only allowing the cells in my outputted data table that need to be more than one line high...be only in "that" row, not all rows... I'm using a: foreach $_(@data) { print Tr([...

Hi, just wondering if there is a solution for using an image for a submit button using the HTML shortcut. I've tried it using a background image, but not the way you can do it using a regular image and regular syntax: <input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;the_image.gif&quot;>, but, this is...

Hi, I've written a little script that generates a popup menu with the current and preceeding 29 years (a perpetual date-type select box) that I use in a form. It works fine, but my question is &quot;Is there a better way to set up the array for the years?&quot; Programatically, I'm sure there is...

Hi, I recently decided to add a configuration companion file to be &quot;required&quot; in one of my scripts. After doing so, I noticed that it wouldn't run using strict mode. Is this the nature of &quot;strict&quot;, or can anyone point out what I am doing wrong? thanx, rdyoll

Hi, I'd like to know what security precautions one should always implement in any cgi script. I know you must never trust the browser or the user, but what necessary steps do you need to take to safegaurd your server from malicious attempts. I'm interested in all viewpoints...whether simple...

I'm looking for a regular expression that will allow any number from 0 - 100, but there are some &quot;numbers&quot; that cannot be used. I have a maxlength input of 3 digits, numbers only. Here is the general break-down: numbers, only 0-9 100 is highest - so the only 3 digit number is 100 0...

I'm curious to know if it is possible to write a script using 100% object oriented syntax. I know I can use the <<EOF or the regular print &quot;blah, blah&quot;; statements, but how would I use say: print $q->header, $q->start_html, $q->table({-border=>&quot;1&quot;}...
