Re: Why should I create an object?

You should create an object because you might import more modules in your application that export the param() function/method. In that case the program won't know which of those param() functions to use. I guess this is just one reason, but I am sure there are more. Teddy, Teddy's Center:

Re: http_referer question

what do you mean by overload? you should never trust data coming in from a webform. for example, if you are collecting a phone number and the data is in $phoneNumber.. do something like, $phoneNumber =~ s/.*(\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}).*/ or handleError() if ( $phoneNumber !~ /^(\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4})$/ );

RE: using whence

As it happens, on my platform (z/OS UNIX), the sh actually IS a form of korn shell (it was ported to the mainframe by MKS, apparently), so there is a 'whence'. What's weird is that doing something like $path = `whence $cmd | uniq` actually works, though the pipe to uniq is pointless.
