Hi, I'm new here, and I seek Perl wisdom! I've gone through a bunch of Perl tutorials recently, and I am in the process of redesigning www.arnova.org. My experience is mostly in technical content and training development, and now I get to play around with an online database. The current search is at http://www.arnova.org/articles/articles.htm, but the developers that made the site created separate HTML files for each article, and they put it together with ColdFusion and ASP. It seems like there would be a better way to put the database out there, and return values to one HTML file that receives fields matching the user's search criteria. So that's what I am building. From this group, I am currently seeking advice as to which Perl tutorials will help me the most with my creating such a searchable database. Even better would be some active web examples, where I can read, use, and analyze the code. All the best, Dainis W. Michel dmichel@iupui.edu
