I'm glad it went smoothly.  The perl webserver can probably serve
small sites fine (as long as you don't want SSL).  It's primary use is
development and the test suite.

SQLite is not a production database, there really isn't a tested way
to move to Postgres or MySQL or Oracle once you decide to go live.  I
suggest picking a real database to start.

Search for SQLite here for more.
