I'm am new to web development and perl so please pardon some of my questions.
With the help of JP Deni I have gotten dbman to work on a Windows 98 platform. However, the demo presentation is not useful for my purpose, and my need is truly simple. I need to allow users to query a flat file db that contain name, phone number, and organization code. No one needs to add, delete, or modiy the data file, it will be replaced on a periodic basis. I need the output returned in table format, all on one page with a limit of 10 records per page - this number needs to be able to be modified. However, the user should be to get all records returned by pressing a next button, or some mechanism. The user also needs to be able to send just the result set to a printer or a file. In the perl gci forum someone mentioned looking at something called Link and search.cgi. Do you know where I can find this code?
I have seen this done on other web sites and I have a limited time to get a like site working. I am learning all of this but it takes time.
