Well I downloaded this email program called mailman.pl. It's by Endymion software and it costs money to purchase, but I am settin it up with the 30 day trial. As I am trying to customize it, I found an interesting error. The program runs from a single perl script, which I, for one, think is silly. But the method by which it navigates is through various form buttons. I found that you could also navigate by appending ?variablex=true as well. So this way, I set up an imagemap that could be used as the navigation.
Uh oh, this causes a problem. The variable that needs to be set as true for the inbox is FOLDERCHANGE#INBOX. So I am typing the url www.buddybuddha.net/.../mailman.pl?FOLDERCHANGE#INBOX=true. This does not work as I assume it to translate it as www.buddybuddha.net/.../mailmain.pl?FOLDERCHANGE @ anchor 'INBOX=true'. This! IS NOT GOOD.
So I tried replacing the # with %23 and that does not work. The perl script itself is so muddled (perhaps encrypted) that I can't even figure it out to modify it. I tried throwing a FOLDERCHANGE#INBOX = INBOX and setting the ?variable to INBOX instead, but the perl script translates everything after the So a couple questions.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/104921-in-get-data.html
-Is there a simple workaround for this?
-Is there a way I could integrate a form entry into and imagemap, thus eliminating the need for the GET data?
-Does anyone have experience with this program who could tell me if the trial expires and then you need to reinstall everything or is the license simply a technicality?
-Any other ideas?

You can't use the # symbol like that because the GET method I think. I don't think the # is allow to be use in variable argument. For me, it's not the fault of the script. If script is editable you could make a change to translate another symbol like | to # when script has to use the variable.

The problem is, the script is just really ridiculous. It's so hard to follow. I think it's encoded so that people cannot modify it. It's just like lines and lines o random code that doesnt make any sense.

Kupo?

Can you not just edit the pl file and replace FOLDERCHANGE#INBOX with FOLDERCHANGEINBOX?

Like I said, the perl script itself is virtually uneditable. However, I figured out a workaroudn to this problem so it's no big deal.
