in thread Can your site handle this?

PerlNights.com

Just had a look at your Cables DB and it looks quite a bit less complicated than PerlNights! Also could I ask, how much of the code base for it was already built? When I have finished the feature set and debugged everything on PerlNights I'm going to use the code to build another forum, a task which I expect to take just a few hours.

    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.
