ideas for a perl script

LAMP_User · 03-13-2004, 11:24 AM

Hello,

I've been learning Perl for a while, I've finished DBI and CGI, so I guess I'm ready to develop something useful,
any ideas for a Perl CGI script that many people can find useful, and that hasn't been implemented yet?

TIA

I've been wanting to do a web interface for apache webserver configuration, although I tend to think PHP would be better than Perl CGI.

LAMP_User? So you should be using PHP, not Perl dude...

Maybe LAMP_User prefers Perl and CGI, although it's not the best (or most efficient) way to do this sort of thing anymore.

LAMP_User, you should really check into using PHP. It's syntax is very Perl-like and has a lot of things built in to it that you would have to mix in with a Perl-CGI set up. However, if you thoroughly enjoy Perl-CGI then I say stick with it--it's your choice.
