Thx. Mark,
do you think i can use HTML::FormHandler for handling forms/validating data
etc. and HTML::template for displaying results?
and will this be suffice for a small project? currently i am not using any
database to store my data files, (i think formhandler needs database backend).
in that case i will use your suggestion of cgi::simple.
rgds,
Rajev

H::T replaces some of the CGI module. The part which emits HTML.
That's the benefit of templating. It isolates the HTML for easier
maintenance. The CGI module would still be used to obtain post
variables, etc.
I use CGI::Simple because it doesn't have all the HTML fluff which the
CGI module has. I've read it's more efficient due to its smaller size.
But, for me it's just principle. I never liked CGI's conflation of CGI
and HTML behavior.
