Re: Unidatab-CGI reloaded

I don't know what Unidatab is, the first page of search results all link to your site or this post, so I've only very briefly looked at this repo. I suggest you use Path::Tiny rather than File::Slurp (see rt://83126). Using CGI is something I'd advise against (with the exception of maintaining preexisting legacy systems), especially the use of HTML generation, and the way you assign colors (e.g. $Color{'LightPink'} = "#FFB6C1";). This could turn into a maintenance headache. FWIW something like Mojolicious::Lite makes this sort of thing a lot easier (and fun), along with the use of templates/CSS.

Ok thanks, I'll try that for the next update. Maybe you should try Unidatab, I'm sure you'll find it's an adorable web browsing companion (as I do)!	[reply]

As I say, I have no idea what Unidatab is, and a quick search only returns links to your work with it. Perhaps your repo could include some relevant links (and a description) in the README.md?	[reply]

Unidatab has plenty of documentation on https://unidatab.wordpress.com/. You should read the README.md on https://github.com/emilbarton/Unidatab which is not the same repo as https://github.com/emilbarton/Unidatab-CGI where I only comment the web interface.That said, I'm sure the database model developed in Unidatab has its value and probably a future, specially for small to medium size databases. Sorry to see Perlmonks called upon, but here at least I'm sure amateurism is not a problem, since TIMTOWTDI!	[reply]
