I need some help in choosing methodolgy or tool kit, or something, to port a PERL app to CGI. I have written an app that allows browsing, creating, deleting, dissection and/or manipulation of db objects. It runs quite well in xwindows using cursor positioning. There are about 20 different screens with controls to page forwards/back/search/ sort/drill down and so on. I want to port this to CGI and have set up a site on RedHat AdvSrv using Apache and mod_perl. I can log in and display data, but before I go about writing a couple thousand lines of code, would one of you with experience point me to some useful widgets, and/or examples I might use. In particular I ‘m hoping to find a widget that can be used to display multiple columns of data where there may be more than on page. It would be able to return some value to the program and generally do in a browser what the program does in xwindows. I've been searching the web for a few days without finding anything close to what I'm requesting.
Thanks in Advance
 
Post this in the Perl forum, you might get more assistance there
