I think you should look at Catalyst, perhaps the most active Perl Web development framework. It's a full-featured MVC framework that meets all of the above requirements. The model part is most often DBIx::Class (if you're talking to databases), and the view part is mostly recommended to be Template Toolkit. I'm getting tired og the latter, but in Catalyst you can switch components, so I'm thinking to use something else. It's possible to plug in Embperl there, but as you've found, it's not actively being developed. Perhaps Template::Declare. I like the observation that designers don't understand templates, only CSS :-) -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
