CGI::FormBuilder perl v5.8.4 User Contributed Perl Documentation - NAME
CGI::FormBuilder - Easily generate and process stateful forms SYNOPSIS
use CGI::FormBuilder;
# Assume we did a DBI query to get existing values
# First create our form
# Change gender field to have options
# Get form fields as hashref
# Do something to update your data (you would write this)
# Show confirmation screen
# Print out the form
DESCRIPTION If this is your first time using FormBuilder , you should check out the website for tutorials and examples: www.formbuilder.org You should also consider joining the mailing list by sending an email to: fbusers-subscribe@formbuilder.org There are some pretty smart people on the list that can help you out. "Overview" I hate generating and processing forms. Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. My forms almost always end up looking the same, and almost always end up doing the same thing. Unfortunately, there haven't really been any tools out there that streamline the process. Many modules simply substitute Perl for HTML code: # The manual way # The module way The problem is, that doesn't really gain you anything - you still have just as much code. Modules like "CGI.pm"
