Howdy!

That link was very difficult to read...however, I've dredged up more recollections from using WebSQL...

WebSQL included Sybperl -- an old version of Sybperl at that. The code inside SYB tags is Perl code that may be using Sybperl stuff. One thing you won't see in the embedded code is setting up the database connection. WebSQL did some extra tricks to set up the connection and pass it in to the embedded code, keeping the user/password/server data in an external file, encrypted for some level of protection.

You will need to modify your code to use something other than Sybperl for database access. DBI is strongly indicated. You may find yourself best served by setting up a template for accessing the MySQL database from the web page before trying to plop the usable parts of the Sybperl code in. You will have to rewrite pretty much all your data access parts.

yours,
Michael
