Somthing like Maypole probably does everything that you want in a simple CRUD application : http://search.cpan.org/~teejay/Maypole-2.10/ Or Catalyst if you need something more flexible: http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-5.30/ Or roll your own using a combination of these modules: Class::DBI::AutoLoader Class::DBI::AsForm Class::DBI::FromForm Data::FormValidator CGI::Application There are *loads* of modules on the CPAN to help with these tasks.
