[MacPerl-WebCGI] different strategies

[Frédéric Guillaume <Frederic.Guillaume@etu.unil.ch>]

Hi

As i'm *trying* to build a web-forum i'm wondering witch strategie to 
choose to print the posted messages. At this point, I store the messages in 
plain text files and call a cgi that works with an html-template file to 
output them to the browser. I use another cgi to print the message index. 
The index structure is stored in a file that is updated every time a new 
message is posted to the forum. This file is read anytime someone wants to 
acces the forum.

Here's my question: is it better to always print html files for every 
messages (wasting disk space) lowering the  cgi-requests to the server or 
to do the way I choosed ? I'd like to have some feedback...

Another question: does anybody have an example of a web-forum working with 
Perl (or MP...) ?

TIA

Fred
