in reply to TT2 -- A Matter of Style

Actually, there is at least one good reason to use CGI.pm within TT2 or HTML::Template - generating form elements. That's the only reason i have found. :)

Check out the discussion at Re: TMPL_LOOP within a TMPL_LOOP for more.

    Yes. I generally generate all HTML with the exception of my form elements in the templates.

    Generating form elements based on dynamic information from a database is much more straight-forward using CGI methods. Also the stickiness of form fields using CGI is often very handy when a user hasn't filled out all necessary fields or wants to modify their search criterion in a small way.
