i graduated from raw mod-perl2 and 'use CGI' to mason last year, and am loving it so far. my gripe with the MVC approach is that it requires more discipline than i have and more foreknowledge than i ever have about exactly what i'm building and when i'll be done. no question that for a non-research project where a design predates the implementation and/or where multiple developers will work together on it (either simultaneously or eventually) i'd want the MVC approach. folks hereabout are using RoR and it's driving our quality up and our dev costs down. but they don't use perl. i do. and i don't work on things where i know in advance what they are, or with help. so, mason as "controller" (noting that the map is not the territory and i'm only using the term because the quoted text uses it) is perfect for my way of working in 2009. -- Paul Vixie KI6YSY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
