Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me here. Here's what I'm trying to do. I've got a form that needs to be manually fed into a SQL DB. Is there a way to code a perl script to send the contents of a form as tab de-limited text file attachment? Perhaps there is a better way to do it?

Thanks for any help.

sure it is, most things are possible with scripting languages. The thing I wonder is that if it is in the db already why do you need to send it as well? Also why not just put it in the body? I am guessing that you want to import into another software package or some such.

I can't help with the particular code but it can definitely be done.

I would do few searches and see what pops up.
