NAME

Merge - Embedded HTML/SQL/Perl system by Raz Information Systems.

INSTALLATION

After installing the package, activate mergecreateinstance to create an instance in your cgi-bin (or modperl) directory. Follow the directions you get from mergecreateinstance in order to configure your web server.

You must edit the merge.conf created for you.

SYNOPSIS

<HTML>
<$RQ.'SELECT * FROM customers'>
<$RLOOP>
<$RVAR.name> owes <$RVAR.debt><BR>
</$RLOOP>
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/merge.pl?template=main_menu.html">
</HTML>

DESCRIPTION

Merge is an embedded HTML/Perl/SQL tool used to create dynamic web content. All Merge pages are refered to by cgi-bin-dir/merge.pl?template=file.html although on CGI mode you can define merge.pl as an handler with the Action directive in Apache.

Using merge.pl under Apache::Registry will utilize Perl's built-in caching to cache pages using the do command.

Merge uses a configuration file to retrieve information about database connectivity and debugging. It has an embedded debugging tool and on-line configuration. To turn that option on, set DEVELOPMENT to 1 in the configuration file. Don't forget to set it off before deployment.

Alternate configuration files can appear in /etc/merge.conf and $HOME/.merge.
