It really depends on how you look at it.
If you make it SQL-Postgres, it wont be that hard. All you need is a few
scripts that connect to and query the database (eg update, create, add,
student) and im sure thats about it.
The only truly tricky bit would be the scanners sending hte data in a perl
readable form...

Feel free to correct me if im wrong! :)
