I freely and openly admit that I wrote my 're-invention' because when I started it I had absolutely no knowledge of what had been before, not even CGI.pm

But once I'd started down the path I found, the more I learnt about what I didn't know, the more I found that I didn't like it anyway.

I also freely admit that a lot of the problem I encountered in presenting my ideas was my own fault for not properly documenting what I had done and for getting annoyed at people failing to understand it because I hadn't documented it.

To be honest I'm one of these people that flits willy nilly from one thing to another, I have attention deficit and if I'm not coding, I'm playing a game or my guitar, or piano, or I'm outside having a smoke.... anything but writing documentation!!

At the end of the day I'm 100%, no 110% glad that I took the path I took and came to where I am now :

I guess I really ought to write the documentation, and find a better name for the code which is not in use by someone else. I'll do that eventually, right now I can't be bothered :)
