But it is as obvious to me as it is to others that you didn't do a whole lot of research, after all, you admit to two hours research and... oh... how many hours designing and coding?

Something around four hours until I had something that kept me going.

Your comment on "not written here" is somewhat indicative. If you didn't write it you can't understand it. Fine, don't try and understand anything anyone else has written.

Thanks for the bad advice. I usually try to (and then do) understand what is written and said, it's not that I am ignorant because I want to (but then, Exporter::Heavy.pm is still puzzling me, and I don't really want to grok it). I only decided to defer the decision for a toolkit (if any) until I had time. I thought I had made that point clear. As someone said, "those who don't understand UNIX are doomed to reinvent it, poorly", but this is not the case here. And the sheer complexity of the evolved toolkits is probably a reason why so many stick with PHP.
