in reply to Why use HTML instead of CGI? (code, discussion)
There's more than one _WAY_, brother dep. -- you know that.
Seriously though, I would be apt to find the functional interface
to CGI.pm messy as compared to the
OO interface; but that's my preference - not merlin's,
who seems to dislike the OO int. of CGI.pm as (flaky|messy|quirky)
don't quote me there, i can't rememeber exactly what he said.
The point here is preference and style.
For me, a lot of perl code I see is highly stylistic b/c of perl's flexibility, like a natural language.
Imagine edting/re-wrting someone else's fiction ? It can be tough,
comments that lead the way can ease the pain, but some art
requires patience and TLC.
