Thanks a lot for the code sample!

Regarding example 1, yes, I can point to plenty of Perl sites that do what they're asking for in the wireframe example. But, while I can hand them the Slash sourcecode, it would be overkill, boggle their brains, and make them think "it would be so much easier to do this in PHP." What would be useful here is a *minimal* example, much like you suggest for example #3.

Regarding example #3, yes, I used Data::FormValidator, HTML::Template and HTML::FillInForm. (My own code is available for download from the links talexb provided in his original post.) I contemplated CGI::Application for a minute but discarded it as being overkill for the application at hand. But who knows, maybe HTML::Embperl would be the right way to go in this situation. I haven't coded like that in a long time but it might give a useful point of comparison to the other languages in the survey.

Cheers,
Richard
