Ok I'm sure this will start a flame war of some kind or another, but it's not meant to be, nor is meant to be a troll of any kind.
I have a website that has grown WAY beyond the scope I initially imagined for it. I went from handling 5-10 requests per day to having over 500+ registered users with 10-20 new signups everyday. This is all in the 4 months we have been in operation. I have started seeing dollar signs, and would like to offer subscription services, to my members. I offer the following services... eLearning (people come and learn things like how to mod and code for a particular game engine) SVN access (All code samples which is what the majority of people are here for, are in the SVN repository) SSH Access (People can familiarize themselves with the linux command line) Dedicated Server Leases (People can rent a dedicated server for $50 per month) Anyways, I am running a website based on moodle eLearning CMS software to handle the eLearning portion of the site. (It's in PHP) I have SVN access being handled by a perl script given to me by PayPal. And dedicated server leases are currently handled by hand. What I would like to do is unify all of this into a single program so I can keep track of who is allowed what services easier. I'm of two minds about the whole thing, either create a module for moodle to do this, in PHP or write a script in Perl to handle all of this. I'm a fairly decent programmer in PHP, but am just re-familiarizing my self with Perl, and I would like some thoughts as to which language would be better suited to handling an automated subscription system like this. Any advice would be appreciated. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
