About a while loop Can't Post
I have never been sure about this so i thought i would just ask here

open(links, "$sitedata/file.db");
while(<links> ) {
}

does that bit of code have to have the
close(links);
on it like this

open(links, "$sitedata/waitinglinks.db");
while(<links> ) {
}
close(links);

It IS considered good style to close any filehandles you open, if that's what you're asking.
