A few minor questions
I just have a few minor questions now:

Question 1
----

Does the size of the html files matter. Mine so far are:

item_html.pl = 265KB
user_html.pl = 182KB

Question 2
----

Which mods work for the SQL version of dbman?

Question 3
----

With the log file is it possible that when it reaches 100KB it renames itself to "27Oct00-30Oct00" for example and creates a new blank default.log file?

1) Not much...but the more modular you can make your script the better.

2) Most of them work, but you have to hack most of them to make them work properly.

3) Sure...

1) Does that mean I could have multiple html files, e.g. add_html.pl, edit_html.pl, etc. If yes how would I go about setting this up?

2)That's good to hear as I might be upgrading to the sql version shortly.

3) This isn't a major request but it would be a nice feature. Has a mod already been made that does this?

Add additional require statements in the default.cfg file. Look at how html.pl is required.

Keep in mind that will not be an instanteous process. You will have to spend time learning SQL and also strict Perl. There are some decent Threads in the DBMAN SQL Forum that provide codes for upgrading some of the Mods.

Not to my knowledge, but you could check out LoisC's Unofficial DBMAN FAQ web site and see if there is anything similar that would help you.
