Micah,

Before you start working on the submission stuff let's chat.
Unforetunately I'm pretty hosed time-wise for the next few days (I'm
taking a full class C and breaking it into 4 smaller subnets.)  So here's
an email to start us off.

Basically I want to go over what we're going to do and how we're going to
do it.  I'd very much like the code to be in Perl, because:

1) Supports cookies
2) Supports keep-alive DB connections (no need to reconnect each time)
3) Supports keeping user session (without cookies)
4) Supports authorization via MySQL (replaces .htpasswd files)

It does all this with modules, so there's no code we need to develop to
handle those functions.

5) We can use the same code for the email->DB project.
6) I don't know PHP, which makes it hard for me to lead this section if
there's PHP.
