Web - A set of useful routines for many webworking purposes


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
    This module was primarily made for UNIX/Linux-Systems.
    Parts of it cannot be used on other systems. E.g. the
    procedures for file locking demand systems that can use
    symlinks. If you use the modul on systems where symlinks
    cannot be used, fatal errors may happen.

SYNOPSIS
    use web;

ABSTRACT
    This perl module serves users with several useful routines
    for many purposes, like generating webpages, processing CGI
    scripts, working with XML datafiles and net-connections.  It
    also uses own variants of routines, that was invented first
    in the famous libraries CGI.pm and cgi-lib.pl.

SYNOPSIS
    use web;

INSTALLATION
    Copy web.pm into the Perl library directory and set it
    readable by everyone.
    If you don't have sufficient privileges to install web.pm in
    the Perl library directory, you can put web.pm into some
    convenient spot, such as your home directory, or in cgi-bin
    itself and prefix all Perl scripts that call it with
    something along the lines of the following preamble:

            use lib '/home/myname/perl/lib';
            use web;
