I was wondering how one would, without writing the forum yourself, fully integrate a website written in perl, and a forum. I am wondering because a webmaster at a website I go to, is trying to fully integrate the message board with the website. What he wants is that you would log into the main website, and be logged into the forum automatically. Also, the password you set or change would be set or changed at the forums as well... Can anybody help me out?


I hate you. You hate me. Trust me, we both know it...no need to let me know everytime we meet.

Generally you build a website around the forum package you are planning to use (such as SMF) unless you are writing the forum software yourself, in which case it's the other way round.

It's not an easy or clean task to patch together 2 different login systems. I think you're going to find it ends up a bit messy. Both login systems will need to have the same encryption on passwords, be able to use the same database setup, etc.

IMO I would re-write the website in PHP, thats the server-side language of the future.

How much does the website do? I might be able to recommend something, or do some PHP coding?
