RE: Geek registry

Ferrency, I really would love to see the code!!!

I am using MySQL myself, (for rather serious and boring purposes) but I never used it with Perl. I really would like to know how you handled the interface between Mysql & Perl.

BTW, I agree that this might be the beginning of a new business. If I were you, I would work on that.
2nd BTW, what is HTML::Mason?

DBI is a glue module which provides a Database Interface to a variety of SQL databases (Oracle, Mysql, Sybase, etc) through a unified API. That's what I used for the Mysql calls. HTML::Mason is a module which (among other things) lets you insert arbitrary perl code inside .html documents. This is in contrast to "normal" CGI perl programs, which typically look like a lot of Perl code with a little bit of html stuck in. (I liken HTML::Mason to PHP, but with Perl instead of PHP's scripting language). I plan to make this code available in some form somewhere soon, since so many people are interested in it. I haven't decided out exactly where or how yet, though. I'll post an update to this thread when I make the code available. Alan	[reply]
