News:
CGI::Formalware v 1.08 is now on CPAN.

This file, and the ActivePerl version - for use with ppm - are also on my
web site. See my Perl page for details.

ActivePerl:
For a few hours the ActivePerl version was one built with Standard Perl.
However, I found it did not install properly, so it has been replaced with
one built with ActivePerl. If you had trouble installing this version,
please download it again.

What it is:
CGI::Formalware allows you to use XML files to generate CGI forms.

The forms can optionally have Cascading Style Sheets attached. A sample is
provided.

A typical use would be to put input fields, eg: text (username), password,
radio buttons (list of machines to log on to), on the top part of the form,
and to have a set of scripts below. Then, when you click on a script, the
values you've entered in the fields are passed as parameters to the script.

Scripts can be designated as local or remote. If remote, Net::Telnet is used
to ship the script to the remote machine for execution.

This version fixes problems with the script numbering option, and ensures
radio buttons have a default choice selected upon display.

Docs:
Documentation is embedded in the source, Formalware.pm, in POD format. It
can be extracted as an HTML file with:
pod2html -infile=Formalware.pm -outfile=Formalware.html

The documentation contains a complete example.
