Why don't you try writing this and see how far you get before you get stuck. It involves DBI elements, as well as elements of CGI programming, but its not aweful if you can read the documentation.
If you get stuck or have errors you cannot troubleshoot, simply paste your code into this thread and we will try to help and guide you.
Regards,
Jeff

Hello,
This is not a troll posting, and I've refrained from
asking because I've seen similar threads get all
nitter-nattery. But I really want to make a decision
on how best to invest my time. I'm not interested on
which language is better in *general*, just for my
purpose. My area of research is in CAD algorithms,
and I'm sensing the need to resort to something more
expedient than C++, bash scripting, or sed scripting.

I am a Python newbie who decided to see what that Python fuss is all about.
Quite frankly, I am a bit perplexed. After having had few months of
experience with Perl (started in 1994 with Perl v4, and doing it ever
since) , here is what perplexes me:
perl -e '@a=(1,2,3); map { $_*=2 } @a; map { print "$_\n"; } @a;'
The equivalent in Python looks like this:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
