This node is forcing me to expose some basic ignorance. I run into the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm frequently and need a better working understanding of it.

While I understand it theoretically I often feel I'm missing things when it comes to implementation. Does anyone have good code/documentation to point me at? I don't know why but if I see it in Perl I grok it in other languages, whereas the reverse just doesn't seem to do it for me. If I just continue to keep my business logic abstracted from my presentation I seem to be ok to some extent, but it is in the knowing of when and where to implement the 'Controller' functionality that seems to lose me.

coreolyn If ignorance is bliss why am I continually embarrased by it?
