Re^3: form processing problem

Object oriented approach makes programmers who are conversed with C++ think that they know what's going on... ;)

Seriously, the given example notwithstanding, I've seen lots of code with

use CGI qw/:standard/ ;
print redirect('http://www.nowhere.to.go') ;
[download]

I mean, Isnt it useless to clutter up your namespace with imported symbols just to use next-to-nothing from it??

Well, in that case, I'd advocate "use CGI 'redirect'", actually. But really, at some point, it becomes "the cost of my time to optimize the import or use OO invocations" vs "the cost of 5 hits a minute on a webserver". If the trade is against 50 hits a second, your argument holds water, but at 5 hits a minute (fast even for the majority of operations), who cares? {grin} -- Randal L.

Well, in that case, I'd advocate "use CGI 'redirect'", actually. Of course ;) Thats why I said, "given example not withstanding". Although have never been involved in such a trade-off, I guess everybody does expect 50 hits a second on his website a second when he/she is designing it. The real reason for posting here was to get the author to know (and probably keep-in-mind) that there is more than one method there. I guess referring to the man-page might also have been a good option..... Manav	[reply]
