What is this for? It seems to be commercial or homework perhaps. In that case I can't 
just donate my time.

Always a good idea to outline what it needs to do :::

Current script that uploads and modifies images-
After picture uploaded and renamed ::

1) Get image info
2)INSERT into database

Public script -
        depending on input -
-Main page
-Search and print results
        -if input bad - error
-View detailed info form search results
        -if entry not exist or inpout bad error

I saw on your outline ( http://134.36.16.12 )you use 
php for the front end.Boo, do it all in perl.

I notice that a lot of people use perl to do all the hefty work 
then give php the glory by having it do the easy stuff. I hate 
that. Why not let the world know perl is doing it instead of 
bloated old php. It's like that movie Galaxy Quest when theh guy with 
Screwy makeup saves tha aliens from dying and they all get and praise 
The captain for saving them. It's just not right!

Any way just a pet pieve I have. No biggie.
