[Catalyst] Hypothetical Site and Scalability Planning

Hey All, Just wanted to start a thread about scalability planning and design. I was thinking we could take the approach of what peoples opinions, ideas, and best practices are for large scale sites and use a hypothetical site or a existing site as the model to plan for. Not everything discussed

RE: [Dbix-class] Re: [Catalyst] untainting utf8 text for db

No escape sequence should get through if you reject any characters outside of the allowed characters. For example you could just reject the input and prompt for another input if this regex matches (?:[^a-zA-Z0-9 _]+) So escape sequences shouldn't affect this test. Thanks,

RE: [Catalyst] XPath, DOM problem

I agree. Using XML::LibXML and the built in xpath queries would be a much better option. Also you probably definitely want to just pass a data structure to your template that is better suited for processing i.e. plain array or array of hash of name value pairs. Another option if your xml is
