Thank you for your answer, Dancer seems easy and fun. I would then deploy as 
standalone to interface to a local database? ( 
https://metacpan.org/module/Dancer::Deployment#Running-stand-alone )

By the way, I'm running Debian Squeeze, while my teacher runs Mac. 

Today I got the specifications of the task (I am studying a course in database 
theory as part of a library science master), and what he wants (he wants it in 
made in FileMaker, while I would like to practice my Perl-fu (also FM is 
proprietary and silly)) is a small library database system, with the following 
functionality:

manage posts in the catalog (add, delete, update, search)
manage borrowers (as above)
manage lending (lending, returning, "who has the book")
implement two different user-views (librarian and user (security not important).

Would I be able to do this with Dancer, and how would I go about it? I've never 
written an application like this before.

Thanks for a great malinglist.
