Hi,

I am skilled in Unix but pretty new to Oracle. I have to build an Oracle database that can be queried with variable URLs. From some documentations I have already read, I believe I need Apache as a frontend with CGI scripts, Perl or whatever to get variable part from URL. Then, I can send a request to Oracle and get back some data to my script.

But more over, from these data, I need to construct and send few HTTP requests (actually POSTs) to another server. I was thinking I could use the Perl LWP:UserAgent module for example.

But, I am not sure at all about products and/or langages (except Oracle that is a requirement) is the best choice to build and develop my application server. Is there some software architect around that can give me advices ?

(For information, all stuff (Oracle, Apache and scripts) must reside on an unique Solaris based server.)
