Thanks for the info... I shall have a read of CGI::Alternatives.

I used to use CGI.pm for file uploads but found it so unreliable in some circumstances that I wrote my own require file for handling web form input, including file uploads. One day or so of coding and testing and it has proved a good use of the time.

TBH I have always worked alone, only looking for input when I need help with a specific problem with, usually, a small amount of code. This isolation has forced me to find solutions but, no doubt, also reinvent some wheels. I know I need to up my coding skills which I why I've created an account here instead of just reading solutions to my problems.

You can tell how little I know about what is out there as these frameworks are a bit of a revelation. Although I consider myself to be an OK programmer who has created and maintains a few functional, dynamic websites. I'm still not seeing the advantage of these frameworks but perhaps, just maybe, that will come after plenty of reading the docs you have pointed me to - thanks.
