<div dir="ltr">Your response if good. It's that I don't really understand what a framework is. I've built a website with dreamweaver (without knowing any html). Now I would just like to build another small site that links to a MySQL database. I see a lot of people use php but since I already know perl and DBI I figured I could go that route. I'm just confused about what these frameworks are (catalyst, mojolicious, dancer) and how they fit in. Maybe I can hire a reasonably priced tutor ;)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2015-07-29 15:34 GMT-05:00 Alan Mead <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amead2@alanmead.org" target="_blank">amead2@alanmead.org</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Well, I don't want to discourage you (or be a jerk) but when you
state that you "don't know HTML" it seems like any web-based project
is going to be way, way, way over your head. <br>
<br>
There are a million ways to accomplish the site you want. Using a
framework would be better for many people, but you'd have to learn
the framework. If you want to learn as little as possible, then you
might want to make some simple CGI scripts but that approach will
require learning about how Apache works (at least a bit). You could
also use PHP.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

You'll need to learn enough HTML to transform your
Dreamweaver output files into templates. There are many
ways to do this but you probably want a framework like
Mojolicious or Catalyst. I see that the Catalyst tutorial
includes the kind of website you want to build (as
"CRUD"):<br>
<br>
<a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial" target="_blank">https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial</a><br>

<br>
I'm also sure you could do this using Mojolicious. But,
again, you're SOL unless you're willing to learn how to
work with these technologies.<br>

<div>I do not know HTML. I have created a
website with dreamweaver that mostly just
looks pretty and and jumps to different pages
on a site. I have also written a database app
with perl->MySQL that users on a small LAN
can use to enter and query data. However, it
is displayed on linux consoles using
rudimentary menu apps based on curses. I would
like to create a website that would allow
users to enter and query data from MySQL
databases and carry out functions such as
updating users via email when changes are
made. Since I don't know HTML or Apache can I
just use dreamweaver and somehow enter perl
code to talk to MySQL? Or is there a better
and easier way for me to go about this?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks for any ideas.<br>
