DbFramework is a collection of classes for manipulating Mysql
databases.  The classes are loosely based on the CDIF Data Model
Subject Area (http://www.cdif.org/).  There are methods for
representing data model objects as HTML and a class which can be
subclassed to add persistency to Perl objects.  See the POD for
further details.

The module includes a CGI application which provides an HTML forms
interface for manipulating Mysql databases.
