Let me get this straight - you don't know what a global is, you don't know

what it means to return a value from a subroutine,

Uh I've been very good at staying out of flamewars over the years so I
won't respond except to say incorrect - I do know what global is and
I've written my own subroutines in Perl and C. Some of them have been
running on the interweb bug free for a while now.

call code that uses CGI.pm "broken"

No. You're reading what you want to read. By taking cgi.pm out of
someone elses code and replacing it with my incompetance the code worked.
His problem was solved.

I also never claimed I was qualified to judge cgi.pm or anything else on
this newsgroup. I pointed out what worked for me.

since you're apparently more interested in defending your ignorance
than curing it, I'm done with this.

No worries. See one of the parent responses with some cool, IMHO, code.

There *are no* parent responses.

You have broken the thread and started a different one.

Please don't do that.

Would you mind not starting a new thread with a new subject for each of your
replies?
That is not just bad style, it also breaks continuity and makes it
impossible to follow the discussion.
