Hi guys, First of all thanx for the feedback! Not to start different threads on all replies I'll just express my thoughts in this one. If I've missed one of your points, please tell me so.

I had a quick look at Apache::ASP and CGI::Application, and turning the picview script into a module seems the way to go (for now anyway). Not to mention the sh*tload of challenges that come with it .. :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Apache::ASP looks like PHP, which I particularly do not use.
Please enlighten me on why Apache::ASP is a good choice combined with SSI?

Also the MVC provides a good piece of reading material and an intriguing view on things. I'm using a webengine developed by a friend of mine, that really fits the profile to be turned into a module as well, but first things first. This one had me going http://ootips.org/persistent-objects.html, and wil be read in the train to work. When am I ever gonna sleep again .. :-)

One final note on why I didn't just created static HTML pages to all pictures. That's how the script was born in the first place. I'm very systematic and tidy (no to say obsessive). First time I found pictures and thumbs online there was a directory with 50 pics and a thumbs page that had fifty links to 50 pages all with one IMG tag to one picture. So at the time I thought that was to static (read: messy .. ;-)). So an intelligent script was the solution. What I want it to do eventually is monitor a directory for incoming pictures and have the script do the whole thumbs thing by itself. Practically: I have a cell phone with a camera; I take a picture; I send it to an email adress; After XX seconds you can view the picture online (with a thumbnail and description ofcourse).

It's not an application that would improve the world, but I just thought it would be fun for people to see what I do when I'm on holiday for instance.

That's it for now. Looking forward to your replies. Hope you can still find the questions up here somewhere.

Kind Regards,

Gerard.
