[Lancaster] virtual library alpha release.

[Andy Baxter]

just to let you all know that after much procrastination, the first  
alpha release of the lancaster virtual library website is now online  
at:
http://213.218.232.133/cgi-bin/home.pl

if you want to have a look. It's running over adsl from the old
pentium in my living room, which is a bit noisy, but I'm planning to  
leave it running until the 26th to give people a chance to see it.

The code is all at:
ftp://213.218.232.133/library

You need the following perl modules to run it:
DBI
mysql DBI module
CGI
Data::Dumper
and a custom version of HTML::Template which is in the root directory  
of the
ftp site, along with a dump of the current mysql database, which you  
can
import with:

mysql -p < Library.dump

The scripts all expect there to be a mysql user called 'library' with  
password
'library', who has full modification rights on all the tables.

any comments welcome. A few things aren't done yet - mainly the search  
function and the form validation, plus the list of subject categories  
isn't yet finalised.
