DbFramework is a collection of classes for manipulating Mysql
databases. The classes are loosely based on the CDIF Data Model
Subject Area. There are methods for representing data model objects
as HTML and a class which can be subclassed to add persistency to Perl
objects. See the POD for further details.
The module includes a CGI application which provides an HTML forms
interface for manipulating Mysql databases.
