Visible progress at last!

I finally have something to show for all of my work! OA6.org is now running completely under HTML::Mason! One new cool thing is a new home page with a tabbed-folder look. The images that form the corners of the rounded boxes are being generated dynamically, so I can change the shape and color of that box without having to build new images. I also added caching to the trading directory, which dramatically reduces the number of required database connections.

Now that step one is completed, I can move on to step 2.. that is actually developing new features for the site. The whole intent of moving to Mason and Class::DBI was that this would hopefully make it easier for me to work on the actual code for the site and not be bogged down by a cumbersome ad-hoc framework. We'll see how well that works.
