There is an article by Stas Bekman (http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/05/07/mod_perl.html) entitled "The Perl You Need To Know". The title of the article kept coming to me as I began to plough through the Catalyst tutorials because Catalyst/DBIC is OO. Everything I had done up to then was scripted/function orientated. You might use the OO interface to CGI but the finished product is esstenially a script. For me, the gulf was there. Good luck, Dp. _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
