Ok, here's what I need to do:
I am writing these perl scripts for a database I'm developing
which has a series of forms associated with
entering new data into the database. When the user submits
a query to the database he/she will have the option
to edit any of the returned records. If the user chooses to
edit a record I need the script to present the user with the same
form he/she used to enter the data except that all of the
fields will be filled in with the corresponding values from the database.
Entering and retrieving the information from the database is not a problem,
but I just need some way to populate the forms and present them back to the user.
What is the easiest module to use in order to do this?
Thanks again to everyone who has helped me thus far.
