I thought that it might be a good project to try my hand at, and after a bit of research, came to the blindingly obvious conclusion that working it up in TkPerl as I had originally intended might be a bit backward, so I'm busy inhaling all the info on XML I can find (it seems the obvious choice). My question is: Is anyone aware of a DTD that has already been defined for this purpose, so I don't go code some non-compliant and therefore useless app? Thanks, Jeff Duffy jduffy@semcor.com From esummers at pilot.infi.net Mon Nov 15 23:31:28 1999 From: esummers at pilot.infi.net (Ed Summers) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:08:20 2004 Subject: [HRPM] HRPM Meeting Message-ID: <3830EC30.3732418E@pilot.infi.net> It's that time again... The second 'official' HRPM meeting will be held at 7:30PM thisThursday (11/18) at the home of the Flamingo Internet Navigators (directions below). This month Christopher Hicks (of Flamingo Internet Navigators http://www.fini.net/) has kindly offered to give an informal demonstration of how to use MySQL from within Perl. MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) is a freely available relational database management system that implements the Structured Query Language (SQL) --a standardized language that makes it easy to store, update and access information. Their homepage reports that the main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness, and ease of use. Indeed the creators of MySQL have been using it since 1996 to manage more than 40 databases containing 10,000 tables, of which more than 500 have 7 million rows! That's a lot of data...and the great thing is that MySQL integrates very well with Perl, allowing you to build extremely powerful and efficient web front-ends to your data. For a list of some current MySQL users take a look at http://www.mysql.com/users.html. If that doesn't sound good enough, at the last meeting there were chilled beverages on ice--so you can at least get a free Coke or Root Beer...
