Calendar of Events

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to add to a site of a research center a functionality of a "Calendar of Events". The ordinary user will see some HTML page where the future activities are listed by date. A user which is staff, should also be able to access some administration page (password protected of course) and there fill out a form which can add/remove/edit entries in the Calendar. Is there such a thing already made (which I can download and configure for my use) in Perl - or should I do it all by myself? The system should run on a Linux server running apache.

Nice one, katgirl! I wasn't aware of that site... Another option is to check CPAN. Please don't roll your own. The odds are you'll have a lot of trouble coming up with a secure solution. Also, please read through the code of anything you download; make sure it uses strict, warnings, taint checking, uses placeholders for any DBI calls, uses the CGI module... Make sure the taint checking isn't just automatically untainting parameters, but is actually validating them. Unfortunately, the list of caveats is longer than that; those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head :( -- Mike	[reply]
