Finally, after what seems forever working on other peoples projects I get a chance to progress some of my own work.
Some more defintion added to "Wheres Neil?", along with a bit of Perl and MySQL Database backend, which is not particularly functional yet but it's going in the right direction. Connecting the two seems remarkably easy, I must have overlooked something. Performance I'm guessing, but that is hardly likely to be an issue for a while.
