Thread: Perl and Postgres
Hello all, Where can I look to find out more about developing a web based interface via Perl.. Currently I do it all via PHP but do to resources available for a project I have I need to convert over to perl.. I check the Postgres Doc's and there were no examples to help get me started. Any thing appreciated.

"Programming the Perl DBI", Decartes, Bunce, Oreilly
"Perl Cookbook", Christiansen & Torkington, Oreilly
"Advanced Perl Programming", Srinivasan, Oreilly
Yes I am a bit of an Oreilly fan!
And a few suggestions:
Normalize, normalize, normalize.
(de-normalize portions if needed)
Put as much of the application logic in the database as you can.
Don't re-invent the wheel, use as many perl modules as you need.
Cheers,
Rod

Perl and Apache are old lovers. http://perl.apache.org/ This is Stas Bekman guide -- it was more help than the O'Rielly book on Apache modules. http://perl.apache.org/guide/ You most likely want to you Apache::DBI.

This probably seems ludicrously obvious, but: you need to have the DBI and DBD::Pg modules installed on your system. The definitive source is "perldoc DBI", though this is not nearly as easy to read as the other sources mentioned. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roderick A.
