Thanks for the guidance monks. I have just had a quick look at the concept of CGI::Application and it certainly looks like a winner for my purposes. Anything that forces me to design things properly is good in my book. Of course code-reuse remains at the will of my power to program it as such, but the potential is there. The program is already running under mod_perl which then made me look at Apache::Session which may have some advantages for me also.

All in a day's wide-eyed learning ... Ryan
