Re: Web app frameworks - I am totally confused!

Designing the application cleanly on top of CGI::Application will probably get you 70% of the way there.

Another point is that several arguments can be made against generated SQL. Have a look at the Phrasebook Design Pattern article on Perl.com.

Finally, this is a matter of taste, but I prefer the Template Toolkit over HTML::Template (which, btw, CGI::Application integrates with directly).

Makeshifts last the longest.

I'll have to 2nd the use of CGI::Application and HTML::Template. I've used both extensively in a professional and personal environment and have found no real problems with the combo.	[reply]
