I would like to have a web page (prefer the use of cgi) where users can
enter information for a bibliography I would like to compile about some
software that we have distributed. I plan to ask our users who have
used our software and have ended up writing a paper or other
publication based on those experiences to go to this site, enter their
information about the resulting publication (author, title, where
published, where available if online, etc) and then have that updated
online at my web site so other users can see it and access. I am sure I
should have some ability to approve or delete entries that are
submitted.
Is anyone aware of a Perl module with these capabilities?
Thanks!
Ted

You're looking for a web application, not a single Perl module. You'll
either need to start building a site yourself, find something you can buy or
pay someone to build the site for you.
If you don't know where to start with Perl, take a look at CGI.pm for your
form processing needs and the DBI module and drivers if you want to store
the information you collect in a database (MySQL is always a good, free
choice). If you don't know where to start with the html, buy a good book
and/or try the comp.infosystem.www.authoring.* groups for help.

Please log in for more thread options Hi Matt, yes, indeed, this really is more like a web application than
a single Perl module. But, I just can't imagine that this is such a
specialized application that it doesn't already exist somewhere,
somehow. It's really just a glorified guest book. Database issues
don't really enter into this as there will be at most 100 entries.
Maybe that will make it more clear what we're seeking here...
Thanks!

You might be able to reconfigure one of the nms scripts:
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml
Certainly a better starting place than most of the awful free hacks you'll
find on the Web.

Thanks Matt,
This is a nice suggestion, looks like a good site with a few different
scripts that could be useful!
Thanks again!
