Using MySQL to Stop Editing Web Pages [LWN.net]

Russell Dyer discusses web site management with Perl and MySQL. "Although there's much that can be done with web design, sometimes I find it to be extremely boring. When I'm deep into a Perl project, the last thing I want is to meet with other department managers to discuss changes in the text on the corporate web site. It's not a good (or interesting) use of my time. As a result, over the last few years I've developed CGI scripts for sites in Perl and databases in MySQL so that non-technical staff can manage and update site content with little help from me."
