Re^3: CGI::Prototype - SYNOPSIS shows arcane and heterodox inheritance

I read the bug reports at http://rt.perl.org. That's where to submit bug reports.

And, nearly everything you've "wondered" about, you then answer yourself within 8 hours. Seems like if you just slow down a bit at posting, you'll have the right answer yourself shortly thereafter.

Re^4: CGI::Prototype - SYNOPSIS shows arcane and heterodox inheritance by Aristotle (Chancellor) on Jan 31, 2005 at 01:07 UTC
Well, at least his ignorant posting does produce material on CGI::Prototype that exists outside a few developers' heads. I very briefly attempted to use the module myself, but didn't get very far for lack of useful documentation (granted I had other things on my hands so I didn't expend much effort; I want to get to it at some point). It's not impossible or even that hard to figure out, but understanding it currently requires backtracking from the finished product through your design process. I understand that it's supposed to have better docs at some point, but please be aware that right now it isn't very useful to anyone but you and maybe a handful of others unless one is willing to mount an unnecessarily steep learning curve. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
