Despite the advice to store the form data in a database instead of a flat
file, I finally set up the script the way I had in mind, with a directory
structure created as needed on my web server and the information in a flat
file. It works great.
Of course, now that my husband can actually see this

Replying to my own post...I was wondering if anyone here can make a
recommendation on a GOOD hosting provider that supports Perl5 and
PostgreSQL (and PHP4 as well, ideally).
