I'm trying to write a web-based program that will allow people to schedule the use of the recording studio we have on our school campus. There will be a list of people who are allowed to sign up on the schedule, and by signing up they block out a chunk of time on the schedule, which other people should be able to see, but not sign up during. Ideally there should be an administrator who can change anything on the schedule.

There should be some fixed amount of look-ahead (say, two months), defining the maximum time in advance anyone can reserve the studio, and archives of who used it when should be kept. Are there any pre-existing Perl modules that would be useful in doing this kind of thing?

It will be running on an Apache web server under Linux, with CGI and SSI enabled, but I will not have root access to the server - i.e. I can't install MySQL or anything like that.

If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going.
