But at the beginner's level it's very difficult to sort priorities of such a heterogenous bunch of documents. Learning any subject fron scratch via (most) electronic documentation is difficult - html enforces no order on things, unlike a book, which has a start and an end. Even with text books - one needs several to get a comprehendible one! I'm not seeking a book on RISCOS Perl - simply wondering if anyone else is/has travelled a similar path and has suggestions. > > I'm pretty new to Perl - I'm starting to use it on our server. > Your randcontact.cgi script appears to be generating some valid email > addresses...

Setting up a server on RiscOS is not exactly trivial! ATM I'm spending time on-line connected to our WWW server, testing. > ATB, > Matthew -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Torrens 4QD manufacture speed controllers for battery electric motors. www sites http://www.4QD.co.uk http://www.4QDtec.com http://www.4QD.org All email addresses are copyright.
