So far there are three members of the group, myself included. We might want to use the forum to decide upon what Southampton.pm should actually be doing. My original intention was to use it for a number of middle-sized Perl projects, using implementations of which onto the southampton.pm.org web site. Any thoughts on potential projects? P.

I figure that the 'build the site' idea is a good one, as it not only advertises our existence, but it's fairly handy in attracting other mongers to the group (which is A Good Thing). Tying the perl projects to the site is also a good idea, as it gives us something to do. So we really need to figure out what is going to be on the site, and how Perl integrates with that. Then we can pick things to code... So maybe the question should be: How shall we build the site (considering we're mongers then really it should all be automated?) and what shall we put onto it...?

Happyfunball has got a MySQL server running on it. I'm unsure of its status right now, but I'll be mailing our friendly neighbourhood admin to see if we can get access. I'm not a big fan of text files. I envisage a site where both the navigation and main content is dynamically generated from the DB. This is helped in no small part by the fact that our new webserver has compiled-in support for mod_perl - which will mean that our Perl calls will have less of an impact on the system than they would have previously. That, coupled with MySQL - should make for a relatively nippy site - even though it's on the East Coast of the USA. So yep, I think a dynamic site would be well worth creating. Pap.
