Re^5: appending to html at beginning (CGI.pm)

Plack, Catalyst, Dancer2, Mojolicious, and more...

All of those run slower then CGI.pm under CGI -- thats because they do a lot more than parse CGI parameters, have more dependencies, have bigger APIs ...

(Update: As hippo pointed out, CGI::Minimal, CGI::Lite, or CGI::Simple) A module that is no longer recommended by its own documentation, and was removed from Perl's core. I didn't even say the module was summarily bad, just that it shouldn't be recommended for newcomers/new developments.

By that logic, why would you even mention those other CGI::... modules?

They were never in the perl core

and they're just lesser imitations of the CGI.pm module

You're using some strange definitions of "best" and "trolling" ;-P

Look, its nice you've got enthusiasm for participation,

but you should avoid railing against things, esp by copy/paste,

thats just trolling

Code over propaganda

Hi Anonymous, By that logic, why would you even mention those other CGI::... modules? Simply because they're not deprecated, and don't have substantial portions of their functionality declared unmaintained. I just mentioned the removal from the core to underline that. And just in case it isn't clear yet, I have nothing against CGI (the protocol / environment), the point I was making is that CGI.pm (the module) shouldn't be recommended to newcomers or new developments, and that there are better alternatives. they're just lesser imitations ... you should avoid railing against things Right. thats just trolling ... says the anonymous post with mild insults and no substantial evidence or arguments.
