Re: Re: How can I display an entire MySQL table in Perl?

I am a very basic user of Perl and MySQl and I am having real problems in finding suitable examples of perl scripts to query a MYSQL database and output the results to a browser. Not knowing HTML does not help me much either.
Is this book suitable for a beginner? , if not can you recommend anything that is. My only requirement (at the moment)is to do the following
1) Create mysql table on remote server (done)
2) Return data to browser (done but very basically, no formatting yet)
3) Have a form on the browser screen that I can query the table in some sort of free format or using lookup options for some fields, i.e distinct subject etc

Any pointers to a good resource to help me out

TIA

John

If you work your @$$ off and _do_ what the book tells you to: Yes. Yes you can learn this. You're not going to pick this book up and turn to page 80 and have it handed to you. And hey be easy on yourself, you posted here, you must know _some_ HTML. -- ellem@optonline.net There's more than one way to do it, just don't use my way.	[reply]
