Introduction This is set of simple modules to aid the writing of dinky little cgi scripts to run an auction on a site. All the documentation you need are included as pod in the modules. There is only one snag. I use this with mySQL, and Class::DBI. I have not tested this with any other platforms, due to having a job to go to everyday. Ah well. So, you will need Class::DBI, which is a good thing anyway. And, out of interest, the author of Class::DBI has sworn at me before. I feel so proud. INSTALLATION To install this module, cd to the directory that contains this README file and type the following: perl Makefile.PL make test make install The Tables. I have included the table definitions, I am so helpful! The Connection. OK, the one thing I can't do for you is know how you connect to your database, or indeed your password/username combo. So you will have to get yourself a database handle. Sorry! I wanted this to be a black box solution, but couldn't think of how, as I know not your circumstances. The Scripts. You don't really need me to write them, do you? ;-) I do have example ones, if you really want. All done with the ever-lovely and fragrant CGI object. Which I find useful, as I don't like writing HTML. At all. Copyright (C) 2001 mwk. All rights reserved.
