   This assignment involves the (partial) development of a web-based 
   application for the management of an online store. The store type
   is based on your choice such as a bookstore, a music store, and 
   etc.
   

   1. Write the HTML code to create a data entry form for your online 
      store. Your data entry form should contain at least 5 data
      fields such as the product number, prodcut name, manufacturer, 
      price, quantity, and etc.

  
   2. Write two Perl CGI scripts: 

    (1) The CGI script validates the data entered and show an appropriate 
        error message when the data entries are not vaild or complete. 
        The valid data transaction should be written to a text file called 
        store.dat, whose record structure is as follows:

        Product Number:Product Name:Manufacturer:Price:Quantity:...
  
    For example of a furniture table, a data entry is composed of 
    7 fields: product number, title, designer, manufacturer, dimensions, 
    materials, color, and price. This could be one of the data entry:
 
        2346891:Captain Tray Table:Marc Berthier:Lexon:56 x 72 x 2 cm:
        Aluminum:Lime:$70.00
    
    Hint: Your store.dat file should be world-wide writable 
          (i.e. chmod 666 store.dat) because your CGI script is run as 
          a CS655 process.

    (2) The CGI script produce a table of a list of products. Your store
        should contain at least 10 products.


   3. Control the access to the page created in 2-(2) by the login name 
      and password.
