Original question was: >I´m new with perl. I need to write a program that reads data out of a form >sent via internet and is able to interpret the data. >I have written the form in html.
It's partly bcs it's written in English. I know that sounds like Visual Basic. But the queryist is a beginner. The alternative programming language uses a config setting to deal with apostrophe's in form input and a function to escape them. But that's a detail.... > Yeah right have yiu even used param in CGI. No. That's partly the point. I wouldn't even know where to find it. But it sounded like he needed some help on the general sort of thing that goes on in reading data out of a HTML form etc. Since he couldn't even write a good subject line, it's unlikely he could write his question correctly either. As further posts have explained, a comparison between the two languages does throw up important points, which wouldn't be there if we're all pressurised to not mention the other language. http://www.cantor.com CONFIDENTIAL: This e-mail, including its contents and attachments, if any, are confidential.
