Although it hasn't been updated in a while, MySQLMan is Perl/DBI based. I've used it. Works for me. -- "To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer." --Paul Ehrlich	[reply]

PerlMyAdmin, note that it doesn't work "natively" in 5.8, atleast on win2k activestate v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Binary build 805. It works fine from 5.6 however and lets you perform most of the phpmyadmin functions.	[reply]

You could give webmin a try. * naChoZ ducks I would highly recommend locking it down to localhost though. Do not leave it open to the outside world. Set up an ssh tunnel to access it remotely. ~~ naChoZ	[reply]

I don't think WDBI has ever been on CPAN and as far as I know it is no longer maintained. I still run an old copy on our corporate webserver for our internal needs, but if IT ever shuts down that server and deletes these files, it's gone for good. I really like WDBI though: it's easy and has no unnecessary "chrome". All the other solutions ('PerlMyAdmin', ...) are far too extensive and could not be trusted in the hands of simple users. I certainly would not be happy to allow the simple users to create and drop tables, set and change privileges, ... Granted WDBI was much more restricted in its use (mainly only search and add/edit/delete on your data) but if you don't need anything more, it's fine. Well I guess, I just have to write something similar myself. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

Another posibility is MysqlTool, which seems to still be available via SourceForge despite dajoba's disappearance. (Now if only I could track down their NicTool...) --k.	[reply]
