Well, you need some kind of embeddable viewer that you can feed with your data. I would guess that you need to find a Java molecule viewer applet that takes an URL as an argument. That URL should then point to your molecule data.

Another way of doing it would be with SWF. Then you could, possibly, use swf modules to generate the molecule viewer on the fly, probably from some template SWF file.

The hard part of this really isn't the Perl parts. The hard part is the molecule viewer itself. Find it, and the rest will fall into place...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
