Project Advice Wanted

Steve Gross

2004-03-30, 11:33 am

I'm at the start of a medium-sized trouble-ticket project that I want to
write in Perl. This project will have a front-end web interface, Perl for
the CGI and a database in the back end. It will live in the Windows domain.
I'm looking for general advice on these topics:
1) Any good Perl/other tool to create screens/web pages?
2) any recommended database interfaces? I've use ODBC and would like to
make it general enough to handle a wide variety of conventional databases -
SQL Server, Access, Oracle, MySQL.
3) Any Perl code template systems out there?

Thanks,

Steve

1) Now the problem is to chose. ASP, PHP, Pyton, ...

2) If you consider to be free from OS use the DBD/DBI for DB. There is
already installed module in Win32 package for ODBC if you just need Windows.

3) In the Template area I use HTML::Template.

--As for the rest, it is mine.

I see you developing a close friendship with
http://search.cpan.org/ in your near future...

1) Sure. Check out HTML::Template, HTML::Stream, and generally the rest of
the the HTML::* modules.

2) You want the DBI module, and its assorted submodules...

3) I think you are looking for HTML::Template here, but otherwise there is
Text::Template, ZM::Template, Apache::Template...

Check out http://search.cpan.org/ for more details on all of the above
modules. ;-)
