I am trying to put together a web site in which the content of the pages will be stored in a database , separated from the look and feel which will be defined in HTML templates.
I am looking at using a perl script called Welder to perform the template processing (any other solutions gratefull accepted..but I digress) and I want to use DBMAN as the administration tool.
My question is whether there exists any routines with which to get at the raw data. e.g. a search function that returns a hash
rather than an HTML page.
I guess I could try and lash something together but it strikes me that a) I am an amateur when it comes to perl and b) surely this must be a VERY common requirement.
