Hi there, Thank you very much. Yes I think it would be more RESTful! (sorry.)
Seriously then a TT View to render to XML would do it I expect. There actually is an HTML::Widget command to render to XML IIRC though that is being obsoleted by its authors. Hope it works out for you and if you do indeed do something with Perl and OpenLaszlo I'd be very interested to hear your experience with it. I might use laszlo in a flash animation intro to my website for example but will need to do much experimentation before more use of it. Matt ----- Original Message ---- From: Simon Cornelius P.

Like you, I'm also averse to using it. You might want to explore REST. I think you can cleanly use a Perl back-end for your OpenLaszlo apps using REST architecture. :) [ simon.cpu ] Matt Rosin wrote: > Hello, > > I'm interested in using OpenLaszlo with the Catalyst perl application > server.
