Hello all. A couple of weeks ago someone posted a question looking for a good project to work on as a beginner. I am new to Perl myself, and have found a good one: Setup a personal address book, using CGI, DBI/DBD, and a database to drive the thing. I've come across MANY usefull issues with this small and useful project. 1) Apache setup / config 2) MySQL setup / config / usage 3) Learning basic features of CGI.pm and DBI modules 4) Code efficiency and performance issues 5) Maintaining state between pages. 6) Writing code I can come back to and understand later. 7) Overall design. I've gotten the thing up and working pretty easily, but almost daily I think of some way to tighten up my code, add a feature, or make it just plain cooler. Hope this is useful for someone out there. Write me if you are interested in specifics.
