in thread Perl Cgi mysql document management

If wishes where fishes then the ocean would be full of them..hey wait a minute..the Oceans are full of them!! I see your point, and i'm beginning to understand that it would be a problem allthough i thought that i could initiate a connection between the the two machine and use win32 module..However i did come to think that one could have a webform where one fills out fields and then generates a document via latex or perhaps an oopenoffice file...allthough i havent discovered any modules for it yet..but havent really searched that much. Always looking Thomas

    Using a web form to edit the content is different than what you were asking for. :) I've doen some work on WYSIWYG doc handling, but not with Word file format. Using HTML and JS, it's barely possible, but Java should be a possibility.

    You might see if the OO.org folks are considering adding an HTTP portal to their stuff so OO becomes a 'browser'. That would solve your problem and add a neat twist to OO. Given that it's Open Source (assuming you can d/l all the source incl. the Java!!!) somebody is sure to take it on.
