Oddly, I did not know that CGI.pm was dead, and I have been programming Perl for years. I've even been to a Dancer presentation at houston.pm http://houston.pm.org/ and didn't have that figured out. Pretty funny, heh? I don't use GCI.pm much, but I do use it. It has an awful program flow (work flow) in my opinion, but gets the job done. What I really need is a Perl buddy (near Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX), who can show me some new tricks. But I can also figure these things out on my own sometimes. I guess I'll get started on Dancer now. Mike Flannigan > Well, do you mean "CGI.pm" the perl module, which is, AFAIK rarely > used any more except in legacy applications.
