error messages -PLEASE HELP
I have an exponential error that duplicates itself depending on the number of records retrieved in the admin function. This occurs in every record retrieval. Here's an example of what I get:

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at c:/website/htdocs/sitename/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl line 303. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at c:/website/htdocs/sitename/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl line 328. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at c:/website/htdocs/sitename/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl line 328. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at c:/website/htdocs/sitename/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl line 328.

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at c:/website/htdocs/sitename/htdocs/cgi-bin/links/admin/db_utils.pl line 328. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation


any help is sincerely appreciated.

thanks,

Have you hacked the sub build_html_record_form in the db_utils.pl file???

What version of Perl are you using?

thanks for your quick responses. As you can tell, I'm a bit of a novice at this, and trying to do a little bit of legwork for the guy who installed Perl to his server.

The Perl installation file was named "5_6_0_620," so it appears to be a version of 5.6. I regret the confusion.

Could you also elaborate on how to "hack" the file? I don't think 'sub build_html_record_form' has been altered in any way.

Thanks,
Rob
