I started working on a Python program that is hosted on GoDaddy. Much to my dismay GoDaddy doesn’t provide shell logins. I was testing the scripts on my machine, but I don’t have the mysql library installed. When I started to write the database portion of the script I wrote this PERL CGI script to [...]
