cgraf, you will find several camps in the dynamic development arena, roughly divided up into ASP, JSP, PHP, ColdFusion, and of course, the reason we are all here, Perl and its various modules. I have chosen Perl.

Personally, I rolled my own dynamic "engine" with the help of CGI, MySQL, HTML::Template, and WysiwygPro for a client-side editor.

My experience here has piqued my interest in other helpful modules such as CGI::Lite, CGI::Application, CGI::Session, which I now realize would have made my task easier and a little less "old school."

This is a big topic around the Monastery and a few Super Searchs should turn up lots (kiat has a lot of good posts on the subject—I might even have a few.)
