2 Perl scripts with mysql creation

Through server change and newer versions of perl, mysql 2 custom made scripts stopped to work. Task: - either fix the scripts or rewrite them - create the mysql db, structure required is known create table inquiries ( t int, firstname varchar(32), lastname varchar(32), address1 varchar(32), address2 varchar(32), state varchar(32), zip varchar(10), city varchar(32), country varchar(3), tel varchar(64), fax varchar(64), email varchar(255), interested varchar(255), notes text, ipaddress varchar(15)); The error about the scripts is this: [Mon Dec 20 03:32:15 2004] [error] 7429: ModPerl::Registry: Can't use string ("0") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/[login to view URL] line 514.\n Which means as far as i understand that the script is not complaint with the "strict refs" pragma activated by default. There are two options: 1. Turn off the pragma if possible. 2. Amend scripts to comply with the strict refs rule. I'd prefer the second one. But that should be done by vendor. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
