I've actually made a reasonable amount of progress since yesterday, I just
dipped into some of the Perl modules that are already in Obs and took it
from there. 

So far I have a module, that subclasses CGI (i.e. @ISA = qw (CGI ....);)
and I am creating methods that do things like print table headers, and
stuff. It all feels terribly messy at the moment, but I got a messsage
from emacs yesterday saying "Album.pl has shrunk a lot autosave
disabled" or words to that effect, so I suppose there is some improvement.

When I've got something that works properly, I'll make it public, and I
expect lots of feedback, because I think this needs to be done right.

Any suggestions for improvements, niggling bugs, annoyances, etc. will be
gratefully received, and I will at very least keep them in mind.

Rob
