Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on the following idea.

I am looking to write a program (in perl of course) to help accounting at the ISP I am working for.
My boss has provided the following criteria for me:

1. Has a web interface.
2. Automatically adds users to radius, mail, and personal web servers.
3. Has a trouble ticket database (MySQL?) that is linked to the users' accounts.
4. Automatically prints invoices for billing customers.
5. Has a "Tech" database that allows techs to store solutions to problems they run into during work.

There are some other features but the main part of it is above. I do realize that there are some people who have already written similar programs to do this. However, I offered to take it up because I have a feeling this is going to increase my knowledge of perl.

I am mainly asking for suggestions at this point, and maybe if you have written portions of what I have discussed above, a little bit of coding help.

Thanks again for any help and advice you can provide.
