( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

i did more or less the same thing once.

i did my own templating system, because HTML::Template didn't do all i wanted, but in retrospect i wish i'd changed my wants instead.

we ran many web servers (mod_perl of course) and one oracle DB server (sun) which, once we finally got oracle optimized, was rockin' fast with pretty high traffic.

anyway... if i were you, based just on what you said, i would do it live. AND, ya know what? i would think very carefully about the site logic beforehand, and then have URL's like "http://www.somestorethingy.com/products/widgets.html" or whatever -- and let apache rewrite them into things like /products.cgi?page=widgets or what have you. assuming you want "nabbable" URLs that's the smartest way to go.

the *only* time in my project when live sucked was when i was asked to make a static version of the whole shebang so the database could be retired (company merger).

anyway, that's just one report from the trench(es). good luck with your project.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
