- Notes and Revision Status
- _______________________________________________________________________
- Rev. 1.02 - 1 July 1996
- Eradicated an errant exit command and installed the no_data subroutine.
-
-
- Rev. 1.01 - 28 June 1996
- The Validator verifies card numbers based on the Mod 10 Algorithm.
- Kudos to Aries Solis (asolis@hoovers.com) who originally found the
- needed data URL for all the cards and to Melvyn Myers
- (homebuilder@peg.apc.org) for posting the original I hacked into a
- totally different animal. As for the unknown original poster of the
- parent version ... eternal gratitude.
-
- The cc_form.html document is essentially the HTML form front-end for
- this script. Please feel free to copy/paste/edit to suit your needs.
-
- The cc_ver.pl script is platform neutral and should run without
- modification on Unix and NT servers alike under either Perl 4.036 or
- 5.001m. Executable file location modifications may be needed, just
- like any other script.
-
- Please feel free to copy out the needed sections and impliment the
- validation part into your own scripts, all I ask is that proper credit
- be retained and noted in your script.
-
- This has been fully debugged and has validated 50 different cards properly.
- It has ruthlessly weeded out fabricated Card Numbers. Basically.. it works
- just fine. If you have any problems, then it resides in how your system is
- configured and how you've modified the script. (read that as "Not My
- Problem")

- WARNING: This product warps space and time in its vicinity.
-
- WARNING: This product attracts every other piece of matter in the universe,
- including the products of other manufacturers, with a force proportional to
- the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the distance between
- them.
-
- CAUTION: The mass of this product contains the energy equivalent of 85 million
- tons of TNT per net ounce of weight.
-
- HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE: This product contains minute electrically charged
- particles moving at velocities in excess of five hundred million miles per hour.
-
- CONSUMER NOTICE: Because of the "uncertainty principle," it is impossible for
- the consumer to find out at the same time both precisely where this product is
- and how fast it is moving.
-
- ADVISORY: There is an extremely small but nonzero chance that, through a
- process known as "tunneling," this product may spontaneously disappear from
- its present location and reappear at any random place in the universe,
- including your neighbor's domicile. The manufacturer will not be responsible
- for any damages or inconveniences that may result.
-
- READ THIS BEFORE OPENING PACKAGE: According to certain suggested versions
- of the Grand Unified Theory, the primary particles constituting this product
- may decay to nothingness within the next four hundred million years.
-
- THIS IS A 100% MATTER PRODUCT: In the unlikely event that this merchandise
- should contact antimatter in any form, a catastrophic explosion will result.
-
- PUBLIC NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY LAW: Any use of this product, in any manner
- whatsoever, will increase the amount of disorder in the universe. Although
- no liability is implied herein, the consumer is warned that this process will
- ultimately lead to the heat death of the universe.
-
- NOTE: The most fundamental particles in this product are held together by
- a "gluing" force about which little is currently known and whose adhesive
- power can therefore not be permanently guaranteed.
-
- ATTENTION: Despite any other listing of product contents found hereon, the
- consumer is advised that, in actuality, this product consists of
- 99.9999999999% empty space.
-
- NEW GRAND UNIFIED THEORY DISCLAIMER: The manufacturer may technically be
- entitled to claim that this product is ten-dimensional. However, the consumer
- is reminded that this confers no legal rights above and beyond those
- applicable to three-dimensional objects, since the seven new dimensions
- are "rolled up" into such a small "area" that they cannot be detected.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: Some quantum physics theories suggest that when the consumer
- is not directly observing this product, it may cease to exist or will exist
- only in a vague and undetermined state.
-
- COMPONENT EQUIVALENCY NOTICE: The subatomic particles (electrons, protons, etc.)
- comprising this product are exactly the same in every measurable respect as
- those used in the products of other manufacturers, and no claim to the contrary
- may legitimately be expressed or implied.
-
- HEALTH WARNING: Care should be taken when lifting this product, since its
- mass, and thus its weight, is dependent on its velocity relative to the user.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PURCHASERS: The entire physical universe, including this
- product, may one day collapse back into an infinitesimally small space. Should
- another universe subsequently re-emerge, the existence of this product in
- that universe cannot be guaranteed.

- Luv ya'll - Enjoy!
