This is a project I did for my local church congregation. It is writen in embedded Perl, which is just Perl stuck right into the HTML. Very similar to PHP (especially since the syntax of the two languages is close to identical). As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of porting it to PHP since PHP is so commonly built right into Apache these days and I wouldn't have to run everything through /cgi-bin/embpcgi.pl (I hate that).

I designed it with the division of labor common to many websites in mind. A web designer can use a few embedded Perl functions I've created for displaying information coming out of the database. For example, they could create a ward directory that had just pictures and names, or one that had pictures, names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and hobbies. And all of it would look just how the designer wanted it to.

If you want to check out the source code, most of the cool stuff is in the lib directory.
