The right way to do something is a very hard question indeed. Especially where web stuff is involved.

You mention Apache and Perl. But are you using mod_perl? In which case AxKit might be a good bet. If not, take a look at CGI::XMLApplication, and also see Kip Hampton's recent articles on XML.com talking about that module.

If you go the AxKit route, look into XSP, specifically AxKit::XSP::ESQL (on CPAN) for doing SQL. If you go the CGI::XMLApplication route, check out XML::Generator::DBI and XML::LibXML::SAX::Builder to build a DOM from the results, and pass it to XML::LibXSLT for transformation.

Probably sounds like an overwhelming number of options. So let me know if you want further details!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
