    You might want to consider a web hosting plan that will roll in a license for Miva Merchant for a low price. Apparently Apollo Hosting sells them for around $65. (Disclaimer: I got this info from someone who works their tech support. So if you do sign up with them, be nice to the support guys.)

    Miva has a list of other enabled hosts here.

    Now with the Miva site (which are notorious for not being indexed) I will have to come up with a revised strategy.

    Here's an example Miva page, whose URL is: "http://www.miva.com/products/demo/Merchant/mercha nt.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=Miva_fresh&Category_ Code=mushrooms"

    Most search engines don't like cgi URLs like that. Better to url rewrite with slashes.

    Oh no my dear friend, I'm afraid there ARE people out there this stupid. In some comical exchanges on a public mailing list for shopping cart software (the Miva Merchant Users list) a certain Michael Walker has managed to prove himself to be just as idiotic, litigious, and deluded about reality and his position on this planet. He's been banned a few times, always manages to pop back up and start more trouble. It provides a nice break in the day when we can all sit back and laugh at him. Evidently his past business partners have had to deal with his tirades and tantrums as well - vdo-specialties.cc is a nice satire site, whereas vdo-specialties.com is evidently his real site/business. He has illegally impersonated a lawyer, made all sorts of wild (and false/idiotic) claims, and generally proven himself to be an ass. Anyway, these kooks out there do exist .. and if you're bored then take a look at the satire site and for heaven's sake, search the archives of that mailing list for "Michael Walker" and just see what might pop up! After observing Mr. Walker from the sidelines on that mailing list, I have NO doubts in my mind that our B. Shiffman could be a real live (possibly mentally unstable) person.

    Hope this doesn't get modded down too far for being posted as AC -- I think those entertained by B. Shiffman could get a kick out of this as well. But I am indeed an Anonymous Coward -- don't need any lawsuit threats! *grin*

  6. I have to agree. by Punto · · Score: 1 · on The Secret History of Perl
    When I started to lear perl (I was writing CGI scripts in miva, wich is easier and _very_ less powerfull), a friend of mine said "ok, I have the camel book". So I thougth, "good, I'll read that book". When I saw the book, it was the longest book I'd ever seen.. It was like the bible.. I'm not reading thet huge book for a languaje that's supposed to be "Easy things should be easy, and hard things should be possible".
    I learn some stuff from the man pages (perlfunc) and from looking at other scripts, but I still haven't find a decent tutorial on the net (unlike other languajes, like php, C, etc..). I'm still clieless when I find a line like:

    $var = ~~^*)(*|^**?^#(8...&(#&|^}[;

    or something..
