I am working for a company that has its intranet on NT. All its
websites are on unix. I was thinking to learn asp etc. but I've told
them to install perl. There is a very good version of perl for NT (I
use it on own NT box).

Given that I have many websites to manage I appreciate the ease of
administering them from a web page. I am creating a webadmin
directory for each server. Right now I have a script that presents a
user interface to the .htaccess files (and group and password file).
The script even searches the whole site for .htaccess files so I can
edit them right there via the browser (and add/delete users/group
members and change passwords). I can' t make it public as it was
developed on work time. But I found this resource which has a log of
good scripts (although I can't get the one I want to work):

Back to the question. Do you want to say, get a page, modify and then
return the modified content to the user OR do you want to save the
content on the remote server? You could do both if you had
permissions to do that on the remote server.
To just retrieve and modify is easy. I do an example here:
http://www.germantownnews.com/reeltalk/index.html
Select a movie and then click on get review.
The cgi uses the LWP module to query a database, get the results, and
then I modify the results and present them back to the user.
