Thanks, I am in college and want to try using a new technology, I would also prefer using perl for other back-end work and export functions,

My requirements are a quite basic database front-end so there should be no real issue there.

I have put together a small site here but I was only guessing really at how it should be put together. The script figures out what to do by parsing the passed url. If I use cookies and server side incudes would the code be acceptable??

I have also thought about using Mason but I feel I should try doing a small site myself first.

Basically I have a feeling that I am wasting enormous amounts of time because I am am missing how the pages should go together. I am looking into server side includes at the moment, it looks promising
