: I think your saying that the entry script (ie the config
: file) would not *use sctict* to start with, but that as we
: go through the present code we would rewrite the subs to
: *use strict* then at a later time when we have all the
: subs working under *us* we could then apply *us* to the
: whole script.

: I'll follow up more under your what now post.

I don't know about Rainer.. but I am not talking about the config.pl when I say entry script. the config.pl is where you specify your individual configuration values for that board (the way that I think about it). The entry script would be something like webbbs_route.pl (or something like that). All config scripts with from all functions (read, post, change profile, etc.) would set the configuration values and go to webbbs_route.pl . Then webbbs_route.pl would figure out where to go. And do whatever is common to everyone (get cookie, etc)

my 2 cents.
