This looks like it would be an awesome bit for koha using libraries, if it could work with MySQL (even more so if we ever do get PostgreSQL capable). Anyone interested in taking a look and maybe lending David a hand? -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 14:49:06 -0600 From: David Christensen <DChristensen@westman.wave.ca> To: perl4lib@perl.org Subject: More... stuff Hi all, I've been working on building a cataloguing utility, currently under the working name "ALEX", but I'll be changing that so as not to conflict with Eric Lease Morgan's "Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts" . There's a few parts to it: ALEX-DB: a database abstraction layer. Currently works with PostgreSQL. (there is an example of using Tk::MARC in the pl/ directory) ALEX-Import: a Perl/Tk widget for slurping MARC files into ALEX-DB ALEX-Search: a Perl/Tk widget for searching ALEX-DB This isn't actually a full-blown application, yet. But the tools are coming along nicely :-) If anyone is interested in playing with it, you can grab the modules from: http://home.westman.wave.ca/~dchristensen/index.html I would certainly appreciate any comments or questions :-) -David
