Yours Ted Have you considered using DBI and DBD::Informix? I don't have any scripts at hand, though I have developed them. The hardest part is handling the CGI stuff (though CGI.pm is a big help!). Handling the database is not very hard. There are also issues associated with regenerating the web page from which the data was entered -- that was interesting...
