Dowload script: exp.0.9.1.tgz

Install Instructions: Install.txt

What does it do?

Simple Expenses Manager is a multi-user perl script allowing users to perform no brainer expense management. SEM is by no means intended to be a hardcore accounting package, but is intended for lay folk like myself who go blank even at the mention of 'double entry book-keeping'.

It is intended for web administrators who want to offer their users this service, but is useful for anyone who wants to track their expenses, and be able to access it anywhere in the world. It also has an admin script ("exp_admin") for easy management of users and basic preferences.

Screen Shots: (0.8.9)

• The main display window (0.8.3)

• The admin page (bit ugley)
