Re: Form generation

The trick with Config::Scoped has been invaluable in my current $client project. I define in once place all the meta information about a form field, and then I can query it from both Perl and TT. The project rules forbid changing the existing database (I'm replacing a live app with new code), so I've had to be "creative" in some parts of my code. Using Class::DBI, CGI::Prototype, Template-Toolkit, and Config::Scoped, I'm nearly done with the replacement (with enhancements!) in about 1/4th the number of lines of code.

Is there some nice full fledged example documentation for using the modules you mention? I went through the docs for CGI::Prototype but couldn't gather much. -- arc_of_descent	[reply]

I don't think there are any docs on using CGI::Prototype with those other modules. You have to get that by knowing all those other modules and then figuring out that "aha, they can work together!". You can ask your questions on the cgi-prototype users mailing list, set up by our own princepawn. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
