INCREDIBLY, I just got Class::DBI to work :-)
I'm not exactly liking the idea of changing my templates to XML, but I think it would be a *great* idea to have a module/script that takes ALL database information and catalogues it into XML format, so when the user using my message board app (the idea is to create a message board for myself, and distribute the code), they can transfer the messages EASILY to any other languages or versions of the board. I like that.

On CGI::Application, before I go and research it, what kind of differences does it have and what kind of benefits does it have over CGI.pm? Faster? More suited for "production scale" projects?

Thanks so much to all who have helped thus far :-)
