in reply to Yet another "why CGI-Application" question

well, if you don't understand OO programming I will go with the others, you should read Damians book, you don't even have to read through the whole book if you're starting with oo. But he explains OO like nobody else in my opinon.
There is a module called CGI::Builder, it's only a bit more than 200 lines of code, its portable but it's OO and it is in the CGI namespace...
I use it in most of my projects nowdays, it's really great, far more hooks then CGI::Application, which is the key if you want to break up your CGI code.

    Please look at the source code of CGI::Builder before you consider using it for production code. Keep in mind that this code came from the person who thought nothing was wrong with doing essentially eval get "http://his.machine/secret.url" in his Makefile.PL, and had to be pressured into changing his code by P5P and the CPAN administrators.

    In my professional opinion, I could never recommend code from this individual.
