Having the opportunity to set up this system, while attempting to keep it simple and self contained, allowed me to discover some very useful Perl modules. I found the process of refining features and developing functional specifications for such a simple project to be both interesting and enjoyable. I hope the list of considerations when crafting this type of system will help you with similar projects.
