There is previous discussion on perl6-users about this. Juerd's motivational mails about it are here: <http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/ext/HTTP/docs/> There's also the ensuing discussion, which can be found in the mailing list archives somewhere. It's been a dream of mine for a few months now to get this re-architecturing going. It hasn't happened yet, due to various time constraints. Hopefully, I will start it someday, or someone else will, or both. :) >> And if anyone is working on CGI or XML and wants a tester, please let me >> know. > > I'm sure the November hackers welcome more tests for CGI (cc-ing their > mailing list). We do welcome more CGI tests, even considering the above long-term plans. // Carl
