Hello Fellow Monks:
I have a question about a database I'm trying to lay out. It will be using the Berkley database through the DB_File module. It will be accessed through the web via a form with four options - each of which narrow down the results. Since it will be for an auto dealership, the limiting fields will be: Make, Model, Year, and Price Range. I could simply have a unique key for each car and then iterate over the list each time to narrow it down, but I have a hunch there is a better way to do it. There shouldn't be more than about 500 entries in the database at any time, so it's pretty small. I would appreciate all the suggestions I can get. In the mean time, I'll be combing perl monks for more ideas. :-)
Thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
