Well, the basis was there, certainly. I had to code the actual handling of the cables, webforms, full text search and registration form.

I think i spent most of the time getting the Cables CSV to parse and import (fixing a broken 2 Gig CSV-file is not fun). The rest is more or less copy&paste from other forms i already had. Usermanagment, Themeing support, Multilanguage etc was a no-brainer, since they are in Maplat anyway and i just had to enable them.

Yes, it looks simple. Of course, the framework can do much more than just search and display a few hundred thousand database entries. But for the cables database, i didn't need more. At work, i manage a complete production plant with a server based on this framework, but thats another story and not really relevant to this discussion...

Don't use '#ff0000':
use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED();
All colors subject to change without notice.
