I have the code mostly worked out as I have several canned perl scripts to 
look at.  I am now looking into security issues and good programming 
techniques to patch up security holes.  Basically, the most security issues 
include protecting against buffer overloads and access to cgi-bin.  I also 
began to write the code in XHTML 1.1 and Iearned it is best to do in an old 
browser friendly language so I need to rewrite.
