I have a collection of cd with movies. I'd like to have an Overview, so I am planning to have an apache "movie-server" which offers information about the movies I have. I imagine, that it shows an index in the left navigation frame and if you select one, the picture and the text appears in the right mainframe to the client, which can be any computer in my intranet. The server should store pictures in a subdirectory and the texts in a mysql datatable. An admin interface to put new pictures and text into the system would be fine, too.

As this is a simple structure, I'd like to use templates or XML (which I have no experience of). I'd appreciate to get tips, how to create this.

I am used to write cgi-stuff with CGI.pm but I am new to templates, so give me your experience, please. An example which is similar to my belongings would be great.
