I have flat text online database(artist catalog).
I need script that will sort database alphabetically(though it sorted already, but thats is convenient feature)and show alphabet letters, to enable user select and view the necessary part of catalog. Right after alphabet should be search form to enable the user search for specific item. I need ready Perl script. I do make powerful Googling search, browse hundreds of perl catalogs and collections, but found no any proper script. It looks strange, since one of main Perl task and advantages is ecaxtly sorting and handling text files..
I think you won't find something like this just because it's so trivial and each situation you'd want it in will vary a little, so its easier to write from scratch than reuse. Have you made any attempt at doing it yourself? If you just want someone to provide you with a script to your specifications, try over at http://jobs.perl.org.
Note that there's a lot you haven't said, like what operating system you want this to run on, what kind of interface (web, gui, curses, plain text, ...).
