Joris,
In my web scripts this is my basic structure.
.CGI script,
This is the control script, basically it dictates the flow of program,
It does nothing else except to dictate what other modules will need to
be called.
Database.pm,
This is my custom module, that makes ALL calls to the database and returns
values or errors depending on what I am looking for, and I not talking just
about Script errors, like for example, if you do a search for one record,
and you cannot find it, it also returns an error complaining that it cannot
find that one record.
Display.pm
This custuom module is responsible for creating my HTML pages, sometimes it
needs to get
data to fill out forms, so it has to make calls to subroutines in the
Database.pm
module to get the data, but otherwise it is just there to create the web
pages.
Standard.pm
This is responsible for all Error checking, validating that the data being
sent is
valid, and making calls to the database to validate data(when necessary) and
updating
the database information.
That is how my basic structure works, for writing web pages, and I think
that it works
fairly well. Though I am a little biased. ;)
