<param name="nodes" value="10">

1=text
2=parent id
3=first son id (0=none)
4=next brother id (0=none)
5=depth level (0 based)
-->
<param name="1" value="1|Monica|0|2|0|0">
<param name="2" value="2|Ion|1|0|3|1">
<param name="3" value="3|Mihai|1|6|4|1">
<param name="4" value="4|Filip|1|8|5|1">
<param name="5" value="5|Silvia|1|0|0|1">
<param name="6" value="6|Diana|3|0|7|2">
<param name="7" value="7|Simion|3|0|9|2">
<param name="8" value="8|Alexandru|4|0|0|2">
<param name="9" value="9|Mihaela|3|0|10|2">
<param name="10" value="10|Andrei|3|0|0|2">
</applet>

But recently I got to know that Perl could do a better job than HTML. Perl could even extract data from database and send it to applet.

I am trying to do that, so what change do I have to do in the perl script and java applet

TQ
