in thread Issues and Advantages module Text::Template

I understand "target CGI" to mean "output the HTML myself", and "run via the CGI protocol" (instead of some kind of server, like mod_perl).

So I don't see why one shouldn't or couldn't think about maintainability, scalability, reliability and template delimiters when targetting CGI.

Also, while I fully support that experience is something you have to do yourself, there certainly are ideas that are so bad that they don't need to be explored. But you don't give any actual arguments as to why CGI shouldn't be explored, and you don't give any arguments as to why the choice of delimiter doesn't matter.

    Aw awww :)

    So you don't see the humor ? You think its not a student? And you think I'm against CGI?

    Its like asking tell me the best way to build a car thats the fastest and the most fuel efficient and bestest it can be ... also mechanics will be working on it so engine accessible from the drivers seat is a plus

    How can you seriously respond to such a question ? Oh right, you didn't :)

      Yes, but I also didn't choose a derisive and hostile tone towards somebody fresh to the site.

      If you leave off the first four sentences of your node, your answer becomes much friendlier in tone while it still says the same thing.

        Which do you think is more useful or more effective ... memorable?

        Does it help if you imagine me smiling and wearing a silly hat?
