just my $.02: After reading this thread, I would like to give a word of support for HTML::Widget
In my particular case, I built a complete set of admin apps, simple CRUD screens very, very fast using HTML::Widget and I did not find it _that_ bad at all. I combined the power of TT for some things and the RAD capabilities of HTML::Widget with the forms to very quickly cook up these admin apps I think that HTML::Widget or something like it in the future should always exist in Catalyst and does not necessarily break the MVC. The ability to quickly develop XML forms from the Controller that can be processed with CSS should not be lost in the future IMHO, so if it's not HTML::Widget we should standardize something else that does a similar job.

An object is still an object, whether it's stored in a database or not. -- Eden Cardim Instituto Baiano de Biotecnologia Núcleo de Biologia Computacional e Gestão de Informações Biotecnológicas Laboratório de Bioinformática -- "you seem to think that 'close enough' is close enough... please learn to be 'literal' around programming." merlyn - on irc.freenode.net#perl _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
