I'm about to undertake re-writing the system that drives the Amphigory site. When we first started out, 10 years ago, I wrote a custom shopping cart system in PERL. That same system still drives the site, though of course, it's gone under hundreds of changes since those days.

Now, our product line has grown so much, we need a way to streamline page generation (all the pages now are simply static HTML pages!) and allow visitors to search by various criteria. Here is where 15 years of work as a professional programmer and database developer will pay off...

Oh yeah -- the new system will be written in PHP, no more PERL for me. :P
