"Effortlessly convert tabular files into web applications using this software." (13 words)
The main feature of File::Tabular::Web that distinguishes it from other frameworks is that it is designed around a search engine that is optimized for web requests. It can search for complete words that span all data fields while also allowing for customized queries that can search for specific data fields using regular expressions, boolean combinations, arithmetic operators, and more.
File::Tabular::Web is an excellent tool for developers looking to achieve simplicity and speed of development without sacrificing speed of execution. It can be used for managing various lists of information, including people, rooms, meetings, internet pointers, payments, and more, making it an ideal solution for an Intranet environment. Although it may not be as fast as a real database, it can handle data up to 10MB/50000 records with no significant difference in performance.
To get started with File::Tabular::Web, you configure the http server with modperl and set the PerlResponseHandler to File::Tabular::Web. After that, you can generate a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application for one tabular file using scaffolding. The application can then be used with the option to customize configuration settings and views to meet your specific needs.
Overall, File::Tabular::Web is an easy-to-use and deploy framework that provides a useful set of tools for managing tabular data files. Its built-in search engine and customization options make it a valuable asset for developers seeking to simplify and optimize their workflow.
