In fact, I think that a very basic system for
beginning could be developed quickly. As I said, my site
was an enhancement of an older one, so we have spent about
one month wondering how we could add the required bunch
of features to the older site. (In fact, the resultant site
was quite complex, featurefull...)
So, you should gain one month :)
You should gain more than one month since we had to learn
the usage of CVS, XML::Parser and how to use Apache::Registry.
More important, we had to find these tools. It's
not obvious when you're just-a-newbie, and you don't know
how-to-do and why =)
Nevertheless, it takes time. A lot of time, since there are
always problems, and your boss/client always add some feature
enhancement... (that's why it's important to have good written specs
and a good contract, as it has been said in other posts)
