Okay, then if I get this right, I might create an object, called User or Method::User which contains all the internal data for a user as well as methods for normal actions on that data, like get_age() or whatever. It also contains any persistence (db) or other features.

That's the Model.

I'm still fuzzy on what makes the View and Control.

My best guess is that View is a bunch of formatting functions, and Control uses both the Method object and the View functions to give you web pages. Am I right?

For example, I want a list of everyone who has blue hair. The control might be bluehair.pl, a user callable CGI. It would instantiate a bunch of User (or Method::User) objects and use User->has_blue_hair() to pick the ones that had blue hair. Then maybe it would use CGI.pm to present the View.

Warmer? Still missing it?

Thanks
