Hi Brian, I meant portability on an USB stick without an install. I am no programmer by profession and I am taking my first steps in Perl, although I hesitate between Rexx (http://www.rexxinfo.org) and Perl, since Perl is not that easy. I discovered TinyPerl because I have no administration rights on the PC where I do most of my work. Working on a USB stick, I do not interfere with the rest of the programs.

The ActivePerl is a heavy weight product... In terms of portability I run the exactly same code (except for the invocation of DataPerfect under DOSEMU) when I run it on my commercial webhosting company, which is on RedHat and I have run the same code on BSD. Or did you mean portable in that you can put the entire code on a USB stick or something without an install? I am quite a Perl newbie so I am very happy to have input that I can use to make my life easier. Thanks Brian PS, I do use a lot of the CPAN modules, such as CGI.pm. CGI::Session.pm, File::Temp, XML::XSLT etc, can these be added to TinyPerl. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Van Wassenhove, Dirk Sent: Monday, 18 May 2009 6:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dataperf] DP Web again Hi Brian, Installing ActivestatePerl makes your application less portable.

Following this discussion I made my first try with this DP-Web-Sample and it works perfect on a Vista-Notebook and on a XP-Desktop. Thank you very much. I have translated the necessary terms of the reports into German and it works smoothly. I have run into one problem: If I enter a charcter of the extended-ASCII-set it is not converted correctly. In detail with the letter u-diaresis (i.e. a german u with 2 dots above) = ASCII129: - if I enter the letter ASCII-129 directly into the DP-Database it is shown correct in the DOS environment - then I can run DP-Web-Sample and the letter is shown correct in the browser - when I edit the record from the browser I can enter ASCII-129 correctly - after saving this u-diaresis (ASCII-129) ist saved in the DP-Databse as ASCII-236 (a y with an accent) -from now on the browser will always show this y with accent (ASCII-236) Actually all letters from the extended-character-set a convert to something (for me unpredectable) when saved by the edit and save command of the browser-page. Has it something to do with my german environment of windows and dos? Is there a way to control the conversion of these extended-charset-letters? Thank you for any help. DP is the fastest way to build a database and to control any amount of data. Thank you to all who keep it alive. Ludwig G?thlein (My name also has this ASCII 129 letter ;-)...)

Do they have to be uploaded through POST to htdocs? or- can they be copied into htdocs? 3) Can you recommend a suitable POST, Get and file upload script to upload and get pages, or documents? What else is important to consider to ensure reliable operation? I've been playing with DpWeb and it's nice.
