The tutorial would teach people how to build a simple GIS SVG web
application and would cover the following:

1st hour:

SVG Basics
Introduction to SMIL
Generatin SVG on the server
Database interaction through DBI (nominal coverage)

2nd hour:
--------
Basic DOM-manipulation using Javascript
Basic DOM-manipulation using Perl
SVG-based application architecture

3rd hour:
--------
Worked-through example
Construction of final product: www.roitsystems.com/gis/index4.svg
(requires the Adobe SVG viewer 3.0 or better with ECMA scripting support)

Perl confort level required: Intermediate - Moderate understanding of OO
Web confort level required: Intermediate - Solid understanding of http. Some
understanding of XML and HTML

This tutorial is similar to the one I presented last year at SVGOpen 2002 in
Zurich, so the bulk of the material is already done.
