CGI::State might do some good also, although it's not going to compensate completely for a true stateful session.

Our sys admin has Apache installed and is setting up for us to use Perl, DBI, CGI. Thanks for responding Charles -----Original Message----- From: David Kirol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 1:40 PM To: Brice, Charles Subject: RE: Perl DATABASE Forms Charles Brice, Start with DBI and DBD:Oracle. That will handle the connectivity issues (connect DDL DML). Next comes CGI. Your going to need good old HTML forms and CGI was easy enough for me to learn and use, but beware - with HTML you lose the all important issue of STATE. In Forms 6i, I click a button on the form I made and the form I am looking at on the screen is then current (ignoring rollback for the moment). HTML on the other hand is stateless meaning after I hit the submit button on an HTML form you will not get the automatic alert you see in Forms when something is amiss. To show an alert in HTML you'll need to make an alert page and display it and pass the state information along with it. Are you currently versed with perl? -----Original Message----- From: Brice, Charles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 1:19 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Receipt Notification Requested) Cc: Brice, Charles (Receipt Notification Requested) (IPM Return Requested) Subject: Perl DATABASE Forms Hi all I work in an ORACLE Forms environment. The client is switching to Perl. Is it possible to create a complete data entry system for the Web using Perl? ORACLE Forms allows you to create multiple data entry blocks in a form and to support "1 to many 1 to many" relationships using multiple tables. One form can be used to perform the QUERY, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT functions. Can any one point me to a "HOW TO", or information, or an existing application available for examination that demonstrates these capabilities using Perl on the Web?
