Re: PostgreSQL web application examples?

You may want to take a look at Bugzilla. It is an open source Bug Tracking facility written in Perl which has much of the functionallity you are intersted in (though it deals with bugs).

It defaults to use MySQL but I believe it can use Postgresql as well (though I don't think it is as trivial as a configuration option).

Also, as a side note, the whole O'Reilly Practical ModPerl book is online and a good read, though it covers alot on the administration side.

I have to agree though, I haven't found much on good practices for structuring/organizing/developing large perl projects/systems.

Thanks for the idea. I gave it a look. It's certainly small and easy to manage for all the capability it has. After a quick review of the code, it's not organized well for my learning about the database side of things. I've used it often from the outside, and it's interesting to see what other features it has from the administrator's side, but the DB aspects are a bit crufty. They also rewrite CGI.pm, perhaps because it's older than CGI.pm's wide acceptance, but it gave me a feeling of Matt's Script Archive when I saw CGI.pl ... Cool app, good applicability to my concept, but not a pleasant code-reading experience so far. -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply]
