It enables a CGI interface to a database to be created, supporting record addition, modification, deletion and searching. It provides a user friendly interface with descriptions of fields provided. The field descriptions along with information on whether the field is visible, hidden or excluded are extracted from a table, allowing easy modification and addition of fields and tables without having to edit code. Build and Install ----------------- To install, simply change into the folder containing the uncompressed distribution and at the command prompt type: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install No testing routines are currently available in this beta. Further Information ------------------- Full documentation is provided in POD format in glueHTML.pm. You should be able to view this after installation using the perldoc command.
