IMHO, manually inserting records into MySQL is a bit of a kludge. It would probably be better to create a flat file of users / passwords, and let perl loop through that and pass the data to vadduser. Just add to your ASP script a simple open port 100, and send user credentials? I think it's just USER and PASS. www# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.vfemail.net. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. USER [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK Password required. PASS mypassword +OK logged in. I'm not an ASP guy, but at worst write out a temp file of all 'new' users from that 'session', and run another script against that list when your ASP is done. I really don't what what you're doing (sign up script? why not vqregister?), so what I've said may not work for you. Heck, that's even better. Just install vqregister, and fill in the form fields with your asp. Rick
