We have been assigned the task of loading some 5000 pages (plain static HTML) into Mysql database. The idea is to eventually go with a custom designed CMS where the same URL schema will be retained. We have to write a Perl script which will extract the meta tags, body and the URL from all these pages.
Do we start from the scratch ?
Any pointer will be much appreciated.

why are you building your own when there are so many that work well available.
have you looked at
drupal
wordpress
joomla
or some of the high end commercial ones like vignette
they even have programs that would import those static pages for you.
the other issue with creating your own is that as your developers come and go,why things were originally created or done a certain way will be forgotten and future work will be difficult.
been there, done that
go with an off the shelf solution and customize that for your needs

I would have agreed with mj that you can use a ready made CMS for your task. But on second thoughts, you will have problem retaining the same URL structure in the new scheme of things.
If slurping the contents is your primary problem, it is relatively easy. You can put together a script with Perl modules like HTML:TokeParser. I am just quoting what came to mind. You will find more powerful modules to get the job done.
