I’m very new to Perl and so far have built a script to read a large text file, create a MS Access db and subsequently run several SQL statements against my new db.
I would like to present the information in html/web format and am struggling on the best way to build the html code and invoke the page. Looking at CGI it appears to present a web page, which then calls some code once the user has interacted, is the wrong way round for me. Had a look at Tk but I’m not completely sure that this is the best way. My latest attempt was with HTML-Templates but I cannot get these to work !!!! Templates seemed the best way forward as I know the format of the page and just need to pass a few ( 20 ish ) variables for display So my questions is, given that I want to invoke a script and generate data which I present in html format, what is the best way ( CGI, Tk, HTML templates, or some other ) If you have any recommendation just point me in the direction and I’ll work it out. Or if you have a simple piece of code that would be top dollar. Regards and thanks in advance Mark ( currently on a very steep learning curve )
