Hi! Is it possible and advisable to write the complex part of an application (the Controller, if you like) in mod_perl2 and use PHP as a frontend (or View) ?
While I personally prefere Template::Toolkit as a presentation language, the project I'm currently getting involved in has quite a lot of PHP-people and not that many (read: me) Perl people. So what I thought is: use Perl to implement the rather complex business logic, and PHP for rendering (and getting form input to the 'backend'). But: can I create a datastructure in Perl (in an ResponseHandler) and pass it on to PHP running also as an ResponseHandler, but afterwards. Would I need to stuff data in ENV? Can I pass complex data structures around? Do I have to serialise (to yaml/xml) between Perl and PHP? Or is this a bad idea altogether and I should use a different approach (Like forcing everyone to read the Badger)? -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.zsi.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
