Try posting a complete minimal example, what you expected it to do,
and what it in fact does. What you have posted appears to be a mixture
of some sort of XML and Perl; in any case, we can tell nothing from
it.

Also try using complete sentences: it make you much easier to
understand.

Is this an application that _you_ wrote, or downloaded from the 'Net.

If it's one you downloaded - **contact the author**.

If this is a script/application _you_ wrote, please be a little more
specific. Is what you posted pesudo-code or what?

Yes, post to a newsgroup having to do with whatever language
you are using.

This newsgroup has to do with the Perl programming language,
and what you posted is not Perl.

This is a Perl 5 Based Database . if you can ... Please go to
www.baseportal.com, and you can setup your own perl 5 based database
or create a page based in Perl 5.
So with that out of the way.... I created a database with a field
named "comp"
it is a checkbox type of field, i can not put it any other terms .
Also the field
has two default values: if checked = 1, if no check 0. That much works
good .
it displays in a page , as a colum and if checked has value of 1 in
the record that checked. Now at the bottom of that colum i would like
the total of the field
"comp".. to display the sum of all the records that have been checked.

I hope this helps... Thanks for all your help.

see page at http://baseportal.com/cgi-bin/basepo...ch/testforperl.


Has anyone looked at this Page? It might help you to understand the
structure of the output of the database.

Thanks Again..

Please don't top post - it is rude

And, I did look at the URL you mentioned. *Contact the author*!
Since the author _may_ be able to help you.

On Usenet it's not. Your choice is: Either change attitude and comply
with the netiquette, or leave Usenet.

Actually, you do. Someone has told you that you have BO. You've
decided to think of it as "natural" rather than shower and clean up.
And you wonder why people avoid you at parties and you haven't been laid
lately...
