how hard?
Hey
I was wandering how hard it would be to make a script which would do this:
have a place like the post new topic screen here but with only the message and subject boxes.
When message is typed it is put in a new html doc with nothing but the the message (the subject would be in Red and the message underneth would be in normal text).
I would then call this into another page via SSI.
It would have to be able to over write the old html page that is there.
i would be making this for use as a newscript as my "first perl project 
".
I just need to know how hard it will be to make such a script./

The script itself would be fairly easy to write using just PERL. I have wrote similar scripts lately because I too am just a squirrel in whirl trying to get a nut.
Just look into how to parse the form input then find out how to write it to an external file, make sure you are using 1 ">" when opening the file, so it will overwrite the old contents. That is all you need for that script.
If you need more guidance, post in this thread again.
