perl->php- Calendar

The reason I am doing mySQL is that I can easily create the
input portion in the cgi script once I get the output I'm
looking for. I should have probably not even mentioned
Access as the input side is a no-brainer for me in Perl.
I guess I am just used to having all my db's on the server
(mysql), and just quickly linking up via myodbc for quick
development. All output, however, is always on our webserver.

As a side note, I've been playin with GD::Graph in Perl
to get some pie/bar charts out of mysql. Neat stuff :-)

I think I am just going to take a stab at it myself as see
what turns out.

I don't know of anything that does specifically what you need as far as an
automagic calender/database solution but I'm not sure why you'd use mySQL
for something that's already in a Access database unless it gets failry
large or performance and high stability are issues.

1) The DBI:ODBC module used along with UnixODBC for the driver would provide
direct access to the access database eliminating the need for a 3rd
database. If the access database is on a different machine on the network,
you can get a free limited license copy of Easysoft ODBC bridge at
http://www.easysoft.com that will allow direct access over the network.

2) You should be able to find lot's of interesting modules to help you with
the date stuff here:

http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Date/

There might even be some nice calendar stuff in there somewhere. I havn't
had to deal w/ any of them before so I'm not sure what's available.
