in thread thoughts on creating modular perl for web application

Because PHP started life as a Perl templating module
Interesting. I had no idea. The funny thing is, afaik, Perl has way more templating options than PHP. I know of only one in the PHP world -- Smarty. Other than that, PHP code ends up being a mess of logic and display all munged together, much like Cold Fusion or ASP code does.

    I have to chuckle every time I hear about Smarty (even though I haven't seen it). The idea that a templating language would need another templating language is just ludicrous. {grin}
