Project I - Publishing and basic content

We need a small system to keep track of magazine and periodical subscriptions that can be managed through a simple email interface. The system should have a set number of manager/owners that add and delete items by sending a mail. The system should send reminders to the owner at an appropriate time before the subscription runs out. Anyone should be able to send the system a mail to query the list and receive a meaningful answer in return.

The project has four stages:

• Mail interface, list management commands, query service and expiry notification.
• Item and functionality expansion and enhancement with PERL/dbm interaction.
• Error handling
• HTML interface

Project start - week 35
Project end - week 40

Notes:

• dbm man page
• PERL's home
