I'm used to the way of simply inserting tags of code in html, like PHP or ASP or JSP etc...that's what I gravitate towards to naturally. That's how I've learned. I like that concept, even if some folks hate the fact of mixing logic and presentation together. I shamelessly don't find that to be an issue for me, makes it actually easier for me. I like it.

I started with ASP and ColdFusion, I'm happy to report that Mojo allows you to include perl code in templates (containing HTML/JS etc). Guides -> Embedded Perl. You'll find this familiar.

I appreciate what you're saying with the remainder of your response. There's validity in the point you make about reinventing the wheel, from the Mojo homepage:

"Mojolicious is a fresh take on Perl web development, based on years of experience developing the Catalyst framework, and utilizing the latest web standards and technologies. "

If you change your mind, I'd suggest getting started with Mojolicious:::Lite, (Tutorial), you get to keep it simple in terms of the organisation of your code, and get great benefits provided by the framework, and I honestly think the learning curve isn't particularly steep given your past experience. With this in mind the responses to Switching from PHP to Perl/Mason from a few days ago are perhaps more along the lines that you're thinking of now.

Update: derp, you created the previous thread...
