About This Page
Technical Trivia: I was needing a project to brush up on SQL. So here it is. The database is SQLite 3. The page you are viewing is XML/XSLT built from a script written in Perl/DBI. The GUI by which I issue queries is Perl/Tk, which itself relies upon a non-CPAN module Tk::EasyGUI.pm. Every last part, the SQL, the two Perl scripts and custom Perl module, even the XSLT stylesheet, are my own code 100%.
