Intro
PhotoAlbum v3 is the third complete re-write of the code I use
to display my pictures. I've been editing and enhancing the software to
suite my needs for some time, but the most recent version supports the
ability to host different albums for different people. The code is
fairly robust, the bulk of which runs as perl CGIs under mod_perl, uses
mySql as a database backend, as well as having some C based utilities to
extract meta data (exif) from the pictures.
Features
This is a list of the some of the features that are supported.

with a hundred categories and subcategories as easily as you can upload
a single picture.
