Re: Perl Browser Plugins

I find myself wondering 'Why would I want to go to a web site that could "Connect to local ODBC databases" or "Read items connected to the client locally' ...?

Or am I being excessively paranoid (if that's possible)?

These would all be in a controlled environment, I would already have access to all of the databases that I am going to interact with. I am just looking for a way to connect the local databases with my cgi applications.	[reply]

CGI applications by definition run on a server, not in a browser (like client side javascript).	[reply]

Correct. All my applications are currently on the server level.	[reply]

I am just looking for a way to connect the local databases with my cgi applications. OK, fair enough. I retract any meaning that might have been attached to my previous reply. I had thought that this might be on an open site accessible to all. This signature will be ready by Christmas	[reply]
