The source code is included and freely redistributable so that you might be able to use the library routines, even if you don't use the main package. Look at http://admin.gnacademy.org:8001/tech/dbedit/dbedit/dbedit.html In particular the routines DBstorage::RDB (which takes a perl has table and stores it in a tab separated file) and CGI.pm which reads a an http request into a hash table. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Wang Globewide Network Academy joe@mit.edu FREE Distance Education catalog database http://www.gnacademy.org Thousands of Courses and Programs
