This strikes me as the type of thing that embperl (perl.apache.org) could be used for. If they are just headlines, a flat text file could be used and simply rotated into a directory of static html files when it's considered old. So that you have: old-headlines/yy/mm/dd/contents.html and so forth. Even easier to mirror would be some SSI so that a straight up executable could be used (such as a perl script) and thus put very few demands on what the server has installed. > Jordy, there any kind mass brainstorming lists laying around?
