The software converts SQL into a popup menu or radio group, streamlining the process of selecting and organizing data.
The module takes a db handle and an SQL statement, and builds a hash based on this input. Then, you can ask for that hash to be converted to HTML either as a popup menu or as a radio group, based on your preference.
What's great about this module is that it doesn't actually read the database table until you call one of the methods 'popup_menu' or 'radio_group'. Even then, the reading is delayed until any parameters passed into these two methods are processed, meaning that your program won't waste resources on unnecessary database reads.
If you need to check how many rows were returned by the SQL you used, you can call the 'size' method. This can be helpful in debugging and optimizing your code.
One of the best things about DBIx::HTML::PopupRadio is that it doesn't require any external dependencies like CGI.pm, meaning that you can generate pure HTML output without any extra modules.
In conclusion, DBIx::HTML::PopupRadio is an indispensable tool for any developer working with SQL statements and HTML generation. Its powerful capabilities and ease-of-use make it a must-have for projects of any size.
