OK, two words: speed and reliability. This product writes quite a bit of code for you, allows you to pick your back-end database by a simple pull-down, creates the SQL needed to make the tables that go with your form, writes the HTML for you, etc., etc. The code is very well-written and has checks for conditions that you "I could do it myself in 5 lines" folks would probably leave out, including the ability to check for database conditions on the provided values. Well worth the 50 bucks!

I am confused at why this is $50. You can do essentially any database access; select, update, create, alter, etc (with plain perl) in around 5 lines, which includes but is not limited to the "use DBI;", connect +username etc and the disconnect line. Does this mean that each line of code this app outputs is worth $10? Granted if you used it for 2 scripts the cost vs line count would be $5/line.
How much of your script will this program write for you? I'm just saddened that everything that this program does, can be easily done for free with the built-in tools of a default install of OS X and MySQL.

Why on earth would I pay $50 for this junk, when I can download the free Perl CPAN modules (i.e. DBI.pm) that provide the same functionality? Also, plain CGI scripts are INCREDIBLY ineffecient compated to mod_perl, especially when using database libraries. There is no way to provide persistent connections with plain CGI, for example. I would recommend visiting www.cpan.org and download the same free database modules that CGIScripter itself uses -- and they're free.
