There are two files here: example.schema You can feed this into the sqldef.pl program, and pipe the output to mSQL, as in: sqldef.pl example.schema | msql rdbms Make sure you created the rdbms database, and that you have read/write access to it. Also, make sure rdbms doesn't have anything important in it! If you'd rather create the same databases, but put lots of data into them, you could try: msql rdbms < example.sql If you'd like to try the example, put example.cgi somewhere under your web server, like your home directory. Make sure that .cgi programs are executable under your web server, or you can put this in a cgi-bin directory. Please see your web server docs for more info. Check to make sure the #! notation at the top of example.cgi points to the correct perl interpreter, and load it up in your web browser with a URL like: http://localhost/cgi-bin/example.cgi?db=rdbms This assumes you copied it to your cgi-bin directory, and that the database you are using, as in the previous two examples in this README, is named rdbms.
