*** That put me in a quandary. In 2006, I started building an
application
to help with my business. At first, I just used CGI.pm, and built my
own
state-driven system for moving from page to page. Then I discovered
frameworks.
I tried Catalyst, and it was very slick when you used their canned
pages.
But there was a little too much "magic" for my taste. I wasn't having
a
good feel for what was going on behind the curtain. And as easy as it
was
to set up a canned web page, that's how hard it was to do something
different.
Especially debugging. Big learning curve.
So I settled on cgiapp. Just enough magic to make my life easy. My
app
has grown quite large, and it would be painful to recode it.
