ged-view.cgi V 1.02: 4-Jun-2002

ged-view.cgi is a Perl CGI script which reads a GEDCOM file and displays a family tree.

Each name on screen is a clickable link to information about that individual.

ged-view.cgi requires 2 modules, Gedcom and the Template Toolkit, which are available from CPAN.

ged-view.cgi ships with ged-view.css and a set of TT templates.

V 1.02 displays a menu of *.ged files when the program is run without parameters.

Also, you can now list all individuals, not just all marriages.

V 1.01 has patches to ged-view.cgi and ged-view.css to handle unusual data as found in royal.ged. This latter file is available separately.

The Image::Magick hax have moved to the Image::Magick page.

CGI Hax are a set of Perl scripts targeted at people beginning to use the Perl module CGI.pm. The aim is to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

You are expected to study the scripts before running them. The Hax are intended to highlight some simple or unexpected aspects of CGI.pm.

Each hax is deliberately designed to be trivial, so as to help focus on one feature of CGI.pm. The name of the hax tells you the point of the exercise. Eg: cgi-hax-form-method-1.pl demonstrates GET and POST. It's that simple. This helps deliver on the promise: No surprises.

A simple menu script, cgi-hax-menu.cgi, is supplied to help run the scripts.

This is an article on the interpolation behaviour of Perl in double-quoted strings by Jason King.

He doesn't have a web site at the moment, so I'm including it here.
