MVC does not imply a certain technology or language. I use MVC even when building desktop applications. Personally, I think Java was one of the biggest promoters of it through EE, way before Ruby on Rails.

I develop in CGI all of the time. The above example is in CGI. If you are good at CGI, go with it. But you can still enhance your skills by understanding the concepts of MVC.

Frameworks such as Catalyst take the tedium out of setting up a new job. They can definitely help you be more productive, but are no requirement to proper MVC design.

($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
