Hey Terrence --

> that sounds like a good idea

I didn't mention this in my last message, but I've already written code like
this.  Two years ago my company worked on a project for a start-up company
which was developing a Mason-based site.  We were hired to develop a login
and security system and a few applications, including a sophisticated
web-based threaded discussion system.

Our applications were all developed using the CGI::Application architecture,
tying into HTML::Mason.  It wasn't very difficult at all.  We even extended
our use of HTML::Template to allow Mason code to be included.

I think the Mason list would be a fine place for a discussion of integrating
CGI-App and Mason.  I've already started a discussion there.  If people are
interested, they will reply.  Let's see if there is a real demand before we
fracture off a bit of the community to another mailing list.

Already supported!  Create a custom super-class and override load_tmpl() to
use whatever templating system you prefer.  Users here are already using
different system as they desire.  (I still, personally, prefer
HTML::Template, however.)


Warmest regards,
