Yup, although one perhaps wouldn't want to expose the Web interface to the Big bad Internet, as Perl CGI applications are notorious for failing to properly quote or handle data inputs, allowing hackers to mount SQL injection attacks or otherwise "own" the Web server. Not saying that this particular application suffers from that sort of vulnerability, but would need to be looked into. Or just run it on your intranet only. But there be so much interest in this, if it is useful, that such issues will quickly be discovered and fixed.
