in thread How to calculate development time?

Thanks, I'll try that.

I do have a development box, so I can make sure that the syntax is correct and it can compile. I will need to test to see if this solves all my problems (probably not), but thanks for the input.

My biggest problem however is not the Perl errors, but possible mySQL errors. I need to set up a testing environment with MySQL and start playing around, but I have no idea what is going to happen if MySQL has problems. Will MySQL return error codes to the CGI that I can catch, or will it just die?

thanks for everyone's input. the whole thing doesn't seem so impossible anymore.

    You should take a look at the Tricks with DBI node by btrott; it goes into some detail about error codes with DBI.

    MySQL should never "just die"; you might run into things like not being able to execute a bad SQL statement, but you should be able to get all the error details you need through the DBI module.
