Texi2html is a Perl script that converts Texinfo to HTML. It was originally developed by Lionel Cons and later maintained by Karl Berry karl@cs.umb.edu.. In contrast to the HTML produced by makeinfo --html (the makeinfo program is part of the Texinfo distribution), the HTML output of texi2html is highly configurable. Among others, with texi2html you can customize your entire page layout (like headers, footers, style sheets, etc), split documents at various levels and use latex2html to convert @tex sections.

WebCal Perl
"Many offices have a calendar tacked to the wall in a central location. Employees add items such as scheduled vacations, reservations of conference rooms, or notices about meeting, conferences, or seminars. Employees can more efficiently coordinate their work with that of others in the organization by using WebCal. WebCal provides a Web interface to a similar shared calendar. Every user can read what other people have added and, if the script is configured to do it, can modify each other's entries. WebCal has two primary views: the month view and the day view. Varying levels of security are configurable. For example, WebCal can be made to be viewable by anyone or by authenticated users only. Items within the calendar database can be made to be modifiable or deletable only by the person who posts them or by everyone.

"JumpForm allows a site administrator to process the results of Web-based forms in a number of ways. The application can be used to generate dynamic email or to create and build a log file or database to track usage of HTML-based forms. The processing of forms is configured by taking advantage of various hidden form tags included in the HTML form created by the administrator, so very little coding knowledge is needed to use this script. Furthermore, because the workings of the application are defined in the HTML form rather than in the application code, the HTML form author can use this one script to process all of the forms, no matter how different they are. Examples include a form to process feedback, a form to automatically download a selected file, and a "jump box" form that allows a user to choose a URL to jump to from a list. "
