I would like to add a belated argument for the pedagogical value of CGI.pm. When teaching people who are new to the whole web programming arena, especially those without O-O experience, CGI.pm makes it easy to show them the entire flow of data from the browser to the application and back without their having to write their own %ENV-parsing hackery. I agree that this is not the way to write web apps that are both efficient and simple once someone has gone on to learn Plack, but I am talking about a useful stepping-stone in the educational process. This argument may not be enough to counter the opposing ones, but I wanted to state it for the record if nothing else. Thanks. -- Peter ScottThread Previous | Thread Next
