big <g> Chuck, I am really excited about this. If I can write PERL
code for a form in TB, you can't believe what you can do. All of the
info you get from a bank, or any other database info is all PERL / CGI
scripting. Half of your web pages after you click on a URL are usually
just PERL / CGI scripting sent back to you which contains the complete
modified web page, so it looks like you were sent to another web page.
sorry, I am so excited, I am repeating myself. The possibilities are
endless really, and you don't need encryption (unless you want to). TB
could be the first and only email program use PERL scripting (that I
know of). Send an email to someone, you will never need web space
again :-) Based in their form input, you can send him anything back in
real time off of your server - database info, avi, wav, complete web
pages done in PERL, pictures, ad nauseam. Just from his email response
to your form.
