I just found one module in SourceForge called >DBIx::Browse (at http://dbix-browse.sourceforge.net there's a very >good Consider DBIx::Recordset. I've seen a tut for it online, but all I have as a URI is: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/02/dbix.html?wwwrrr_20010320.txt I've written a tut for it myself, but never published it. It's a very clever and tricky module, with extremely hard-to-understand docs. It stores output (from selects) into globs, so you get scalars, arrays and hashes populated simultaneously. Amazing! But in my limited understanding of Perl 6, such globs will not be supported. You need to check up on things like that. Ask an expert. >demo).

I suspect no-one will have written a Perl look-a-like, but I could be wrong. After all, if you're going to write a tool in Perl, why copy MS when you can do a good job instead? >arise ...) and client/server, so I'm trying to move processing and >security >to the server side using Perl and DBI. Good idea. You'll need CGI::Session, perhaps? I recommend it highly. >- Does anyone knows of any module that works this way ?? DBIx::AdminEngine looks good, because I'm writing it, and because I'm biased. It is not, repeat not, worth releasing yet, since it only works in read-only mode. It is a vendor-independent replacement for an old tool of mine: myadmin.cgi (which is MySQL-specific). See tut # 35: http://savage.net.au/Perl-tutorials.html Feel free to rip off as much code from myadmin.cgi as you want. DBIx::AdminEngine uses DBIx::SQLEngine, which you should also investigate. And what is the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) for DBIx::AdminEngine? Don't ask. I have 4 part-time jobs just to pay the bills, so progress is slow. The next db to be supported will be Postgres. MySQL is already supported. I'm also writing auxiliary documentation for DBIx::SQLEngine, for my own education, some of which the author of DBIx::SQLEngine is incorporating into his own docs. You're welcome to a copy of DBIx::AdminEngine such as it is, but I'll be doing all the coding myself. The main program uses CGI::Explorer (another module of mine), but of course you don't have to use that :-)). If there's any interest, I'll put it up on my web site in a day or two. Of course, there could well be many other such modules floating about. Your post is a good way of fishing for them. >- Anyone interested in start a new project or modify an existing one >?? >(just in case there's no Perl replacement for MSODSC). > >Sorry for the long post, and thanks for your time and patience. Better long than too short. You should always spell out details for us to better grasp what you're doing. -- Cheers Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 10/03/2003 http://savage.net.au/index.html
