I would say learn plain C++ first, before getting into the Visual C++ mess that MS created. Do some basic console programming, just to learn the C++ syntax and OO concepts. Then, if you insist,...

No, you are not wasting your time. Perl is ever-growing, and it is a very useful language for many tasks, including text processing for web apps.

Good luck.

You program in CGI huh? Well I was about to mess with you, but then I saw that your mood is "drunk," so I will be merciful. :p

No, I was refering to worrying about "getting credit" for posting information, not failing to list the source. It was my impression that the person earlier in the thread was talking...

bimmer-

I say don't worry about "credit" or whatever. If you find something useful, then post it. However, writing an OS in assembly is probably a bit over most people's heads on this BBS. ;)

Thanks for the Perl tips.

What do you mean about "the content?" Were you talking about array contents/buffer overflows still?
