Photo Sharing Site

As a means of gathering all of our wedding guests' photos in one place for easy display and distribution, I made this photos sharing site. Guests are given an upload password which they can use with the Flash based uploader which allows multiple files to be transfered with a single transaction. The upload is handled by a Perl script which resizes the images for display and stores them based on the username given during the upload. In order to produce the gallery, Perl scans the storage area for images and produces a web page with the lists of users and images stored in Javascript arrays. The gallery navigation is handled by Javascript. I have started integrating an SQLite server to the application to enhance the storage and retrieval of photos via the PerlDBI.
