Best approach to dynamic Perl pages

[wruppert]

All of my work on the web up to this point has been static. I create the site on my PC and FTPSync it up to my host (pair.com).

I am a very experienced Perl programmer. I use Perl, Webmake, Template Toolkit to create my pages.

Now I need to implement some dynamic content - searching a database. MySQL is fine, but I am unimpressed with PHP. I would rather do it with Perl, but as usual with Perl, there are many options.

I was wondering how folks in this forum would suggest I proceed - what modules to use, what general approach to take.

The site will be very low volume - I anticipate less then 1000 searches a day.

TIA!

I would suggest using the DBD::MySQL modules. MySQL is a great database system and even though I am Oracle trained I would pick MySQL over Oracle for 95% of the database needs any day.

Modules I would suggest would be the:

DBI
DBD::MySQL
CGI (for form parsing)

That's all you should need to do some basic grabs from a DB.
