Hi, I am still working on building a framework, design plan for this busy site I am working on. It is a total revamp so I have the chance to do things "right"
I have been looking into HTML::Template which is a lot simper than Embed perl or the template tool kit. I am wondering if anyone has experence with using both of these with Registry.pm I have decided to make my modules class modules instead of traditional modules, and thanks to Perrin's great article, I have a lot more confidence in my basic plan. There are some differences between our site and etoyz. Our site is not nearly as loaded. Busy, but not giant. Still, I would like to build something that can get that big without another total rewrite, moving things around, new hardware sure, but not a whole change to the system. Right now things are small enough that the rewrite will only take a few weeks. So I am looking for gotchas, and other problems that could come esp from CGI::Application because it doesn't make much mention of working under mod_perl. I think the "modes" could be appealing to the PHP guys in my office. It could give them something to chear about, since I think right now they just look at mod_perl as being more work than PHP which is probably true. I am also sure that the HTML templates will make the boss very happy because he is always changing HTML in scripts and breaking the scripts, then calling and saying, hey the form isn't working anymore! :( The big points I want to achieve right now, is to make everything I write OOP, separate HTML from code as much as possible, and to not make it impossible to deal with for the people I work with who don't know as much perl as I do.
