Oh wielders of the trout that slaps,
I come to you with a question about perl (this time). I am researching what I will need to know for my first major perl project. My masters want me to develop a script which would create form which allows a clerical worker to edit their web events calendar line by line. The calendar is similar to this one. This form should present the current tabled page with check boxes to edit or delete a table row. Once a row is selected the user would submit and either the row would be deleted ot the user would advance to enter the edited version in a multi-lined textfield.
My questions:
1) I have read the CGI.PM documentation. What other wisdom should I seek before attempting to begin?
2) Am I reinventing the wheel here? I seek laziness.
3) Am I framing this project in a foolish way?
TIA
