Almost every WDVL page is generated by some Perl script. We have used this approach for several years now (since 1994) because it automates much of the process of creating and maintaining a large site (~1600 pages), while allowing us the flexibility of fine-control over the look and feel of the site. This is a low-cost alternative (or supplement) to the use of commercial site management products, suitable for those webmasters with programming skills.

We also use Perl for a few CGI programs, e.g. to process data sent via the comments or site submission forms. Perl/CGI is the oldest web interaction technology, and in spite of the arrival of newer technologies such as Java and JavaScript, Perl/CGI is still a solid and useful platform for many applications.

This article describes our home-grown Perl scripts, all of which are available for download. Note that many of them require ht_subs.pl.

We wrote it for our own use, and you may well have to hack it to suit your own needs. If you make any general improvements please feed back the new code, we will credit you in the source.
