I'm an engineer and I need to build a web based application for a
customer to view results of my analysis. To simplify the problem say I
have a duct with a length, width, and height. I have 'avi' files
showing the fluid behavior in that duct for various combinations of
these dimensions. The analysis package I use generates movies with the
naming convention:
length_width_height.avi
I want to allow the customer to specify the length, width, and height
and view the appropriate video file. Ideally using some combination of
radio buttons, drop downs, etc.
I am experienced in Perl and have have worked with simple HTML. I was
told CGI might be the way to go in developing such an application. My
question is, does that seem reasonable? I don't want to throw myself
into learning CGI if I'm going to reach a point a few weeks down the
road when I realize I should have taken a different approach.
Thaks.
