probably using MySQL to store the data and using modules like HTML::Template to render the output

I'd certainly agree with the second half of this. But do you really want to use a db to store data? Presumably these pages are not going to be super-dynamic; at most they'll change by the week; so wouldn't you be better off (from the point of view of speed in serving them up) storing your pages as pages? And that cuts out a layer of design, too AFAICS. Just a thought.

My other thought is, think through the intellectual property rights in case this is a thing you and your buddies could take private later on ;)

• 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.
