I'm currently developing a site in Perl for an anime club I belong to. The site needs several areas that are updated rather frequently (member listing, showing schedule, anime news, club news, links, etc). I'm developing this site in Perl so several club members who don't have design and programming experience can maintain the content of the page by entering information into forms that update the content. Currently I have it set up so a user calls my Perl file and it loads the page, and switches between pages by using the QUERY_STRING.

The question that has been bothering me is this the best way to deliver content to the users? I can easily change the Perl file to output new HTML pages upon updates, rather than having the users access the Perl file all of the time. We currently don't have any plans for a portal type system, and the only thing that I could foresee being forced to have users access the Perl file would be a forum.

I'd like to hear what other people have done in similar situations, is there some other implementation that I've overlooked?
