    Howdy Y'all, In order to learn more about Perl DBI, I wrote a guestbook that uses MySQL rather than a flat file to store the data. Will you kind folks do you best to break it, and if you do, tell me how? http://www.sagara.org/perlgb/guestbook.cgi[^] Thanks! Jon Sagara Damnit Jim!

            My host moved my site to another machine last night. I guess they took a snapshot of it before I had finished developing the guestbook. If you've been getting a page with just my name on it, that's why. It should be fixed now. Jon Sagara Damnit Jim!

              Two suggestions: 1. I was able to enter "garbage" characters in the name fields. It might be possible to enter sequences that cause application or database problems. You may want to filter fields for legitimate entries only (and no profanity). 2. It would be nice if guest email addresses were blind. Otherwise spammers can get them.

                Your guestbook looks really nice - good work! Tried a few things, but could not find anything really harmful (on the server side). Seems like you could put html commands in the URL field, however.. Cheers /moliate


                The corners of my eyes catch hasty, bloodless motion - a mouse? Well, certainly a peripheral of some kind.
