well, if you can do that, you can learn perl. i know i'm gonna get nailed for this, but if you're just making small web-sites, you might look into rails. not as flexible as perl, but often easier to get running [and maintain]. if the db is already there, you may not have that option [as the rails schema may not match what you have]. some of the main perl web application frameworks are HTML::Mason, Catalyst, ... just pick one and go. there are tutorials, mailing lists [boston.pm], irc channels, and google to help you. i'd say just do it. bonne chance. -- \js :-P _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
