Hey, Thanks for the great review. Having beaten Maypole with a stick myself I appreciate seeing this info out there for new commers. I hated most that non of its documentation even seems to address the problems it has. Of course once you find the problem it is normaly easy to find the answers in the documentation, unfortunatly 90% of my time was spent trying to figure out what the problem was.

On the plus side once I got it working it seems pretty nifty, as it matures and gets some better examples, documentation, and some of the patches integrated with it, it should be an amazing framework. With some effort (read lots and lots of effort) Maypole can even be convinced to run on Apached2 mod_perl 1.99

Thanks for the great review, perhaps you could make some of your Maypole accomplishments available for others to try out.

PS one of my biggest problems turned out to be an error in the TT macro file provided with it. So if you have problems with relative links look there.
