Re: ORDER BY COUNT(*)?

nit-picking...

In the example code you provided above, you refer to individual array elements like this: @result[1]. If you had utilized -w you would have received this helpful error message:

Scalar value @result[1] better written as $result[1] at FOO line 17.

You can read more about -w in perlrun.

Thanks redsquirrel I'll definitely read more. However, I do have -w in my #!/usr/bin/perl -w. peppiv	[reply]

However, I do have -w in my #!/usr/bin/perl -w. The warning is being sent to your web server error log. You'll make sysamdin types happy by writing scripts that don't fill up error logs with gobbledy-gook every time someone executes your script. I have found it helpful to test CGI's from the command line using this command: `perl -cw your_script.pl` This will not execute the script, but will display many helpful warnings. --Dave	[reply] [d/l]

Dunno how to quote people's stuff but... redsquirrel - Thankyou for your "perl -cw your_script.pl" pointer. Fortunately I am the sysadmin (my play/learning box) but I still don't want to fill my logs with rubbish. Just in case I ever need to review them. I would of course first have to work out where they acutally live but that is a moot point.	[reply]
