Re: [MacPerl-WebCGI] help

Many thanks Thomas:

It makes me very sad that sometimes real dirty words
are sent to persons like us,  the beginners in the list. 

It seems that beginners like us are unwanted in the
list.  It scares me to post messages feeling that I will be
fiercely attacked posting a stupid message.   I do
not know why people cannot accept beginners.  

I hope things improve.  Give us a chance.  Let us
try and learn.  Thats all I have to say to the Gurus of
the list. 

Sadly enough there is no real school here that teaches 
Perl.  If I quit the list, I will never have the opportunity to 
learn.

We all learn from our mistakes.  Don't  we???

Best regards

Amitava
