I've had a bit of a look about the place and found what I thought would a kinda cool photo album. It looks nice is templated and is very easy to use from an end user point of view (both admin and user).

so i think to my self, i'd like to add some extra features. I had a bit of a look a the code, and just said "oh bugger". No taint, no warnings, no strict, everything inline, lots of require, certainly not OO.

Admitadly the script was free, so, what could i expect? the script is provided by fuzzymonkey, and while it might sound as if i'm bagging it, i'm not, i really like the user interface layout, structure and as a user i think its great. its just the engine room that doesnt meet my requirements.

What do i want? Well for a start I want templates, i dont mind the way the admin interface is secured (.htaccess or internal). I'd like strict, warnings and taint. I wouldnt mind OO, but its not a hard requirement. I'd like the ability to write plugins, or at the very minimum the ability to inject my own set of html into the template. Something written with CGI::Application would also be nice, but not essential. I want something that i can contribute to, modify and display as my own as well as something that has "protected albums". Mandatory features such as add, deletion, resize, thumbnails, a heirarchical album structure, captions and feedback, are what i would consider fundimental, and well, mandatory.

Question is, am i asking too much? is there something abailable that meets these requirements? do you have something i can pick up, modify and give back?
