I think you will have no problems with this.

To achieve this I implement the logic of the application in a module
using OO syntax. In the pages itself I try to maintain
just the basics to layout the page.

To avoid restart the server, as Ed noted, you can also use
Apache::Reload, or implement your own change detect mechanism.

Currently, I use the following design:

Database level: My own but could be DBIx::Recordset
Application level: Perl modules implementing the logic
Interface level: a bunch of Embperl "objects" implementing an API to
build forms, session management, screen handling, and anything
reusable related to output; and another bunch of Javascript libraries
to help with HTML tricks, CSS, and etc.

The Embperl "objects" are a better place to implement parts of the logic
related to output because you can use the power of Embperl instead of
print OUT and other tricks when you have to output inside common perl
modules. This also gives you a very good way to reuse code, I use my
"objects" in all my current projects, just like any plain perl module.

With this implementation I think things are well isolated, and as Ed
noted also, the logic is available to command line tools.

Maybe other people have other suggestions on this matter.

OB> I know this too but thanx for your information and feedback.
OB> I appreciate :-) Any additional questions about the application, luiz?

I think you will have a lot of fun in the near future...
