if you use perl for db-access , why don't you also use it for cgi/html ?

perl cpan archive, perldoc on CGI,DBI & object orientation in perl (man
perl)

main issues are inteface-specifications, don't mangle html/gui/application
logic/and db-stuff ! build/use modules&classes for each of them, think of
using templates for output as well as gui. the separation of design & code
can save you a lot of trouble - you probably don't want to review
your code when someone needs a bigger font :-)
think of modperl (www.apache.org) when speed is important ... or
you like to be forced to keep your code tidier.

set up apache(with modperl),db,perl(if necessary),
perlmodules(CGI.pm,wwwlib & others you may use) ... spend your nights on
studying object orientation/perl module design/modperl/hashes
reading&coding followed by excessive alcohol consumation ... and things
may work out...
fine :-)
have i forgotten anything ?
