Welcome to the power of the "sub"!

My advice: take it slow. Convert a very small section of your site. Get comfortable with the process of converting and the kind of subroutines that you will need. See if you notice some patterns in how you go about converting things. Apply what you learn to the next batch of pages. You will surely learn as you go... and there are many here to help you.

Now would also be a very good time to learn about version control. In any case do lots of back-ups. Mistakes are a natural part of learning and you don't want to break your site while you are trying to make it easier to manage and expand.

Best of luck, beth

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
