Web working

Working on a new web site (well, a new version of an old web site, hint hint). I'm having to remember how to do Perl things, like call another script (that's do). Perldoc.com is nice, since www.perl.com is all O'Reilly-networked now--they just link to Perldoc.com instead of hosting their own copies of the perldocs. Which is fine, since it's one or two fewer clicks to get to what I need at Perldoc.com.

Anyhow, the site's done with a template HTML file and a Perl script that stuffs stuff into it, writing out static HTML. I did that before with this site. The new cool thing (besides the new, HTML4+CSS design of the template) is I'm using XML (with XML::Simple) for the backend content files. Pretty swuft, if I do say so myself; if I have a particular reason, I might make my publish scripts for the non-blog parts of this site use XML for data. Dunno.
