Good show - bear in mind that some of his articles are a bit old, they should all still work, but there may be some minor changes since they were written - so check the recent documentation and ask on list if you have any problems. > I haven't yet worked with the Template::Toolkit. > I know there's even a dedicated O'Reilly title alone on that (the > one with the badger on the cover). > How essential is in-depth knowledge of Template::Toolkit? > Will a superficial grasp suffice to get started, anyway? Superficial knowledge should be enough, the manual is available via perldoc Template::Manual and very helpful - there is also a very quick intro in the documentation for Maypole::View::TT that I added in version 2.11. > I also realized that Maypole seems to rely on DBI::Class. > Though I have written a few backup and monitoring scripts with > DBI and DBD::Oracle, > I haven't used the DBI::Class interface yet. Class::DBI is a very simple ORM that provides database persistence, searching, etc for classes. You can find a couple of introduction articles for CDBI at the wiki : http://wiki.class-dbi.com/wiki/Articles_about_cdbi > Btw, how did they arrive at the name Maypole? I have no idea - Simon Cozens would know, and yes the meaning here (UK) is the same.
