Flash->Perl->MySQL

Well, it's even later on Tuesday but I managed to:

• Create a sample MySQL database
  
• Connect to that database from perl and return results
• Return HTML from perl running under IIS
  
• Return XML from perl
• Call the perl from Flash
• In Flash, bind an XMLConnector to a DataSet bound to a DataGrid

Not a bad start, but I'm not sure if the Flash data components will be worth the trouble. At the moment they seem like they are overly complicated. They do look a lot cooler than a standand ASP.NET DataGrid (which isn't too shabby) :)
