I'm really looking for a bit of guidance, I've been asked to look at developing a site however I'm unsure which route to go.
We currently have an Informix DB which we interogate using Perl and create XML on the fly.
We then provide a number of sites to display the data contained in the sites. Up to now, most sites have been created using PHP/MySQL/ Smarty and use Perl to dissect the XML and fill the db.
One option which has been suggested is to simply transform the XML using XSL however my gut feeling having used XSL is that it is simply too clunky to handle complex datasets.
