Re: Dynamic Web Page approach?

[injunjoel]

Greetings,
Though I agree with dragonchild's comment above, here are a few modules to look into if you are sold on using perl.

• DBI - for talking to databases.
• DBD::ODBC - for talking to Access.
• CGI::Simple - for dealing with web requests and responses.
• HTML::Template - to make the HTML in your life easier.

And here are some tutorials you should be familiar with.

• perlman:perldsc - Perl Data Structures Cookbook.
• Tricks with DBI - DBI tutorial.
• HTML::Template Tutorial.

I'd add CGI::Application to that list... probably overkill for what the OP wants, but it is easy to exend an app when new requirements come in.

Mind you, I'm just figuring it out myself... but so far I'm really quite happy with it :-)
Here's a tutorial at perl.com.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the tutorials to start with and think about getting mysql running on the linux box again. gj
