Monks,

In my next project I'll be making a lightweight document management system. The specs are fairly simple:
* use existing infrastructure: Oracle DB, perl on vanilla cgi webserver and existing authentication system
* Provide storage and access to .PDF, .xls, .doc etc.
* Support Metadata like keywords

I could write this, but I'm sure there a lots of existing solutions that I could modify. I did a search on "document management" and I didn't find anything even close to what I was thinking of. CPAN search didn't yield anything that appeared to be applicable (I'm sure I'm missing something...). I also looked on sourceforge, and found some projects but they look like they assume MYSQL and apache.

Anyone have any helpful pointers to either frameworks, full blown apps, or just Modules that might make this easier? I already know and use CGI::App, HTML::Template, Class::DBI

Cheers
