I have decided that the cheapest and best option would be to use Perl and MySQL, hosted by an ISP.

I have a serious problem with that. I won't argue the cheapest part, but if I were to give you the assignment and you came back to me saying Perl, MySQL, hosted by an ISP in such a way you cannot control which modules are available is the best solution, I'd thank you and hand over the assignment to someone else.

First, let's make the assumption the company actually cares about the website. If not, well, who cares? But if they really care, do you really believe it's in the best interest of the company to host in on an ISP that gives you very limited control? I seriously doubt so.

Secondly, let's assume the company not only cares for the website, but also about the data. If you care about data, MySQL should not even *be* an option, let alone a "best" option. Check for instance http://openacs.org/philosophy/why-not-mysql.html for some reasons why MySQL should not be an option.

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.
