    Hello.

    After hearing about HTML::Merge in the last meeting of perl.org.il I want to try it out. So I'll try to learn its basics using a project.
    I want to create a calendar of events for a research center.
    The current calendar of events looks like this:
    http://www.cri.haifa.ac.il/events.html

    I would like to make my calendar like this:
    any user going to the "events" link will see a calendar of the sort you seen in the URL above.
    the maintainer of the calendar should be able to access some web page (using a login name and a password) and be able to add events to the calendar.
    The events page seen by all the users should be dynamic, i.e.  show only future events, enable viewing of past events in some archive mode...

    I think you get the idea by now.

    OK - so how would one who have never used your tool, yet is familliar with Perl, start?

      First phase: desing you project
      build database tables for events entries.
      Second phase deploy:
      Build a HTML template for merege using your favorit
      HTML editor.
      The easier to build is the browse enties (you will
      build a query that will show only future events).
      After this is done you have to decide if you want
      to use MERGE security to allow user update or
      build a database table for it.
      Now you have to build forms for update, delete and
      insert of new enties. Those can be simple forms
      or a complecated one just like the demo in
      http://www.raz.co.il/razinf/demo.html

      You have some demo templates with the project
      if you installed them with mergecreateinstace and
      the tags are documented in the man pages and the README file
