So where is best to look if I really want to use something readmade? Being more into webdesign than programming btw

Buy a book. O'Reilly has a ton of good books with many many examples. And that doesn't count the "Learn in XX days" series. This even has the side-benefit of teaching you. Use a good ISP. Pair.com (and most other ISPs) will provide you with a number of applications readymade and supported 24x7. Most of these apps you are already paying for with your subscription. Hire someone.

It's been mentioned a couple of times before, but London Perl Mongers has their nms project, which provides drop-in replacements for the ever-prevalent Matt's Script Archive scripts. This should be a good start for you.	[reply]
