Howdy!
So the database is already implemented in MySQL? It would
have been helpful to mention that earlier. :)
I don't know MySQL well enough to know how it does
referential integrity; I'm a Sybase guy being turned into
an Informix guy.
How does the PHP code discover children? You should probably
be able to use the same metadata it uses. It can't know
any more than your Perl script can.

Well, give me $500 and I'll buy it and then I'll tell you how the problem is solved :)
PS: for that price you'll get full web system with admin area and lots of other stuff.

OK. So are you also having to implement the database itself?
Does that give you control over the RDBMS you use on the
backend?
If you get to design the database, you get to make things
possible. If you are handed a database to query against,
then you can discover the list of tables, hopefully
programmaticly. One can hope that the relationships can
also be discovered on the fly.
