Hello, I would first like to thank everyone for their help so far, i really appreciate it. Well, i have been learning perl for my job now for about three weeks. Things have gone pretty well so far. I have written a few scripts here and there. However, i have a much larger project that i have to write a page for. The page needs to have a mysql backend and a perl frontend. It will be used for keeping track of vlan ids and the IP addresses associated with them, also with a 25 char description field. Now, i have created the database with the columns of vlanid, ipaddr, and descr. The vlanid and ipaddr are of data type int while descr is of type varchar(25). I have written a small perl script that is able to insert and print out the fields in the database into a html table. Now, i am quite new to web programming, so i am unsure how to actually approach the project, this is where i need your help. How should i approach this issue? Should i write separate pages for displaying the data, inserting and deleting the data? Should i have this all on one page? Where should i go from here? Do any of you know of a GOOD book that i can get on the subject that will help me? Any advise will be beneficial. Thanks!!
