really "parse and compose" the HTML line by line & byte by byte.
Was it really fast? Apache mod_perl with CGI.pm is possibly a better fit.
I want to rewrite the whole thing by using more
friendly/higher level perl pre-built module.
Right now, I am looking at CGI.pm. Howvere, I would definitly go for any module out there which comes with better documet(man page), example or more friendlier.
I use DocSet 0.16 on my personal web site - with my own CGI coding style thrown in. If you need RDBMS interface I would recommend you look at Bricolage first to get some ideas.
Then maybe HTML Mason. Ultimately if you are willing to do a complete rewrite -- maybe something between these two would suit your purposes.
Still, I cannot provide more suggestions as your target is vague and the possible HTML CGI processor "ammo" is vast. While I once used a 12ga shotgun to kill a banana spider - I must admit it wasn't the best use of resources - not to mention the "down range" collateral damage potential. In your case you may spend more time learning and rewriting then correcting and understanding the work of the previous programmer.
I have no idea what was written so I cannot say one way or the other which approach is best in this situation.
