[WEB4LIB] Access databases via the web

[TMGB]

I haven't had a chance to use it yet but I beleive there is perl support for
mdb files or even mysql for mdb.
mysql can be found at :
http://www.tcx.se/

and Perl db at
http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Database_Manipulation/

or for all scripts using c, perl, etc go to
http://www.cgi-resources.com/

Others have more experience than I but these are just some resources and you
will probably be hearing about Cold Fusion on this topic too.
