Project Description:
I need to transfer data from a live website, based on script using perl/cgi to a wordpress (PHP, MySQL).
You need to transfer same categories and sub-categories from the current website, to the new wordpress based website on the new server.
The current website is using standard classifieds script from http://www.activewebsuite.com.
I have a new classifieds theme for wordpress.
The data for the ads are stored in .pl files and each users details are stored in a separate .pl file.
The images for each ad are stored in separate folder.
Here is one record example from data.pl file.

The downtime must be minimal.
