CGIScripter is a multi-platform development application available for MacOS X, Windows, Linux and Solaris. It enables Web developers to write Perl CGI Scripts for MySQL, Oracle, Access, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2 and PostgreSQL database servers.

Features include:

- No ODBC driver licensing required for UNIX Web servers

- Leverages open source software including Apache, Perl, DBI

- Quickly prototype Web applications

- Multiple platform support

- Process images via the Web

- Utilizes Web security best practices for Perl CGI programming

- Automated form data validation

- Auto-Enter Web form values

- Site license

Perl CGI scripts are generated for each form specified within CGIScripter and include customized data entry and data validation for each Web form. The Perl CGI scripts generated by CGIScripter automatically provide support for insert/update/view/delete of GIF/JPEG images via a Web-based interface, and are designed to follow industry standard best practices regarding Web form processing. Critical Web form processing parameters are hard-coded within each script instead of being accepted via POST or GET operations. Web attackers cannot view sensitive data by guessing at and passing in their own database column names for processing.

Database columns containing more than 255 or 4000 characters of text are implemented as the appropriate large text column type in the selected database (generally supporting 65000 to 4 billion characters). Image data is implemented as the appropriate BLOB type of database column in the selected database.

CGIScripter is a multi-platform development application available for MacOS X, Windows, Linux and Solaris. A free demo version of CGIScripter may be downloaded. The CGIScripter demo is fully functional for generating Perl CGI scripts and saving configuration files, allowing developers to fully test the generated scripts for their intended application.
