I think that most people will tell you to use a web-based framework
and some of them are optimized for this. <br>
<br>
But it's pretty simple to create a single-page CGI that displays
some data and there are many examples available online. I find
HTML::Template to have a fairly easy interface for creating HTML
tables from DBI queries. Probably a key issue is how much other
infrastrcture you need. For example, if people need to login,
that's going to make a simple CGI a bad idea.<br>

What would be the easiest way to display query results
from a MySQL database -- running on a Debian machine --
onto a webpage. What I would like is to allow a user to
log in and be able to do a few simple queries. I know
enough perl and SQL to write the queries via
perl->DBI but I have never done any web programing.
What I mean is that I have written a lot of perl
programs that query databases and display the results on
a console screen via curses but never displayed results
onto the www. I'm guessing that I might need to install
Apache but really have no clue beyond that. <br>

<div>PS It does not have to be anything fancy.<br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
