How can I use a database server from a Perl CGI script?

Question

My program works already, I have Perl (GUI Window) where I can input data, data passed to the webpage (using to Tomcat server, JSP) and then saved it to oracle

Answer 1

Any specific reason for the mix in technologies? Why not use a servlet/JSP?

If you must use Perl, then you need to choose what web-server will run your Perl script.

Normally, this would be Apache using mod_perl.

But if you only intend to use this for a few admin scripts, then you can run Perl from tomcat as outlined here.

Once you have managed to get a simple perl script running, then I would look into using DBI/DBD::Oracle to access your database?

Hope this helps...
