Need advice on web based programming

[daveleau]

Hi everybody!

I am wanting to build a site based on perl script. I have been to a couple of sites and cannot find anything that does what I want. And many of these scripts cost loads of money (hundreds). Anyone know how involved it would be to write a perl script that does what a site like resellerratings.com does but with a few different added features? Like separating companies into cities? I want to build a site that does what resellerratings.com does on the city level and want to cover 2 or more cities but have them separated. Thanks
Dave

The product used for that site and this, btw, it this UBB (Ultimate Bulletin Board). I haven't a clue as to price and/or functionality, though there are issues I know about.

One can easily mimic the site using PERL, ASP, heck even Java to accomplish much of the same functionality. What is basically occuring is there exists a front-end that retrieves data from a DB and formats into a nice HTML page (some javascript also). This front-end also accepts form input to update/insert into the same database.

What this all means is you can do it yourself easily, but it is a lot of work. Or you can pay someone who already did all that work up front.
