in reply to My Catalyst website

This thread would gain a lot of credibility and utility were OP to update the parent node with discussion of the module use, challenges overcome, and other perl-centric information.

For example, App::Cinema appears has numerous children. An explanation of "why not a single monolithic module?" seems likely to be valid content for this site.

Tangentially (but along a related chain of thought), it's generally cheaper to put the invariant elements of a site's style(s) in a single, external .css file. Doing so saves bandwidth, storage and d/l+rendering time for the user.

    .... this old dog still refuses to write cgi which requires css or javascript.... what was wrong with plain old html? :-)

      This mutt got forced into css to satisfy the Political Correctness Police at a former employer (and at the same time, strong-armed into avoiding js "because Lynx doesn't support it.")

      After a time ( a long time... ), /me came to see some advantages in the parts that work (along with the numerous, well-known disadvantages/limitations) and even got more-or-less comfortable with using styles. Time passed. Browsers got somewhat more (not totally sigh...) consistent in their interpretations. All in all, the state of the art today ain't all that bad (obviously, IMO; YMMV).

      But, deep down in recesses of my heart (well-hidden from the PC police), I retain an inclination to agree....

      And, while js has gotten somewhat better too, enough of my target audiences have it turned off that I try to avoid it.

        In the same vein, I recently came to understand why using sudo is a good idea on multi-user systems, but still hang on to su and root, you just never know. :-)
