A HTML-table based on user-input which has it's storage based in a DB. Depends on how you created your database-statement. just capture all cgi->param's then make a select statement which has a WHERE clause in it then you can either use the param's directly ad input into your where clause and finally but most important use "fetchhashref" Thus create an array of hases which via the module HTML::Template you can display. Don't know if you ever used HTML::Template but it would make your project a lot easier. greets
