I am new to CGI and Perl. I have a background in database prog.

1.) Here is what I was thinking about doing: Is it possible to setup a queue that would be offline where visitors could enter data. Then the admin could mark records to put online. This would give control to the admin about what get online and what doesn't.

2.) After data is online when the user login he would only be able to see either those records that he has online or those that are in the queue.

Remember any should be able to view all, or some of the records that are online without modifing them. Only the admin and creating user would be able to modify or delet the records.

This would be two databases that you would bounce between as well as move records between.

I hope this is somewhat clear and I am not just suffering from a case of methane poisioning.

Thanks,
Gary

That would be similar to the way Links adds records -- sorta.

My suggestion is to have a "Validated" field within the record and only have records with Validated=Yes come up in a search. The admin would be able to search for non-validated records and validate them.
