Personally, I really like CGI::Application with HTML::Template. That combination is straight-forward with no BS. The support bothers me a bit too but I only write web stuff as ancillary to my primary professions of systems and network engineering. For that CGI::App serves me well. If I was a real web developer the support issue might bother me too. -- Stephen Carville Serf Without Portfolio 800.537.3821 x1326 scarvi...@nospam.lereta.com ------------------------------------------------- There is no "I" in Team but there is in Integrity. ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
