It's all about the time limit. I rather convert the scripts, or either
rebuilt it from scratch off course.
But I thought it would be possible, would last for 30 days then or
something, to have a litte more time.

Yeah, okay, I'll do that. It's just that I need more time. I guess it's
just easier then to do it from scratch :)

It's just a simple site, which I can built in Perl for a couple of days.
But I am going through the Zope learning curve now, and that's why I am
not that fast. I need to get better OO-glasses still  :) Thinking in
objects and so on.
it's www.hginternational.com , a company which is selling cleaning stuff.
