So, I am implementing a perl/cgi-app based system that uses LiveGrid + 
Ajax (since I need to filter columns).

I note that the php examples all use a session cookie.  It this 
necessary for any features of Rico or in particular LiveGrid?  I realize 
that that the PHP scrips are all dependent on the session, but the perl 
examples don't use filtering (or sessions)

Thanks,
Ben

Using session variables makes it possible to have a single script (e.g. 
ricoXMLquery.php/asp/aspx) provide data for all LiveGrids in an 
application. While this is certainly possible in Perl using 
CGI::Session, I haven't had the time to code it. In putting together 
ex2.pl, I avoided sessions and just hard-coded the query in 
ricoXMLquery.pl.

If you are able to create a more robust Perl plug-in for Rico, please 
consider making it available to the rest of the Rico community. Thanks,

Matt

Thanks for the reply, Matt.
I hadn't had an application that uses multiple liveGrids yet.

As for a Perl plugin... We are using DBIx::Class instead of "straight" 
DBI, and CGI::Application/TemplateToolkit for perl, so I am not sure how 
special purpose our Rico interface will end up being.
