[VPM] database frontend

[nkuipers]

Fellow Mongers,

You've seen me progress through various stages with my project and Perl, and 
now I'm at a new stage.

I've got a Postgres database with about 20,000 entries from the salmonid 
genome project, mined from about 80,000+ sequences as being significant, by my 
Perl software. The database is very very simple at this point. What I need to 
do is throw up a correspondingly simple but effective web frontend for 
querying. I did a supersearch at PerlMonks on "database frontend" and from 
this I extracted the following tools for doing this:

o CGI
o DBI/DBIx::HTMLinterface
o HTML::Mason/HTML::Template
o LWP

as well as the book "Programming the Perl DBI" (which I happen to have). There 
were less than 30 threads in the sections I searched, and the relevant ones 
were from around 2001 (and dealing with MySQL, although I wouldn't think this 
matters). Are these tools (other than DBI/CGI, I would imagine they are 
involved) still the defacto standard? I've never done anything like this, 
including zero LWP or CGI experience. What are your suggestions? Any ideas 
welcome.

tia, ttyl, "and all that jazz". :)
