Hi davido,

But frankly, I often find them awkward, and often find myself using CGI.pm only for it's input parameter handling, handling uploads, and for the header() method. YMMV.

That's exactly what I'm using CGI.pm for. It kinda makes me wonder if it's because I've yet to fully learn its functionality with respect to outputting HTML. Ah, now I know I'm not alone...:)

The reasons I shun CGI.pm for its HTML capability are 1) I don't want to have to learn the additional syntax to do HTML and 2) I'm already very familiar with HTML and want to make use of that knowledge.

Lately, I discovered HTML::Template through this community and have since used it for managing content. I find it a really neat solution to marry the two skills of perl CGI and HTML.
