Thank you (and everyone) very much for getting through my rant, and commenting.

At the time this project was done, which was 2000 to 2001, I knew about Mason, bricolage, and I think OpenInteract at some time before but it looks much more grown up. Will certainly study all these.

That said, well, search.cpan.org searching has been down for some days ("You don't have permission to access /search on this server") so your link doesn't work for me. Seems the OpenInteract site at cwinters.com mentioned on CPAN is down too. And no OpenInteract articles at perl.com. Ah, but now I've found openinteract.com from google, and now the sourceforge project, when I was about to give up.

Hopefully O'Reilly will find OpenInteract or P5EE books to be a new source of income sometime soon.

Okay, here's a question. I've got a CGI based intranet system to track billed time for a 40 person company. To that, I've added a CGI::Application Direct Mail system which was fun, and we are starting to plan a larger financial system which I've been thinking would be CGI::Application probably unless there is something better. The client has been very happy with these systems but I would like to integrate better and make it easy to sell/deploy. And it's time to move it all into mod_perl, and with sensitive data to PostgreSql too I think.

How hard is it to port a CGI::Application to OpenInteract for example?

Would you recommend OpenInteract for something like this, basically a corporate intranet/extranet server for a company or division under say 200 employees? Perhaps P5EE is already solid enough to implement and save time with it? I expect that mod_perl will make it work not just quickly, but Real Fast And Better Than X (tm). Would be nice to advertise that Perl makes it so.

UPDATED 2/12: According to Chris Winter's posttwo days ago on the OpenInteract mailing list, OpenInteract is apparently going through a major rewrite (well he says not a total rewrite, but a refactoring which will require code changes..) which won't be done until the summer. Might still be possible to use parts of OpenInteract so I will keep looking at it. Thanks again.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
