Re (4): Code Critique?

I still humbly disagree. Separating Perl and HTML into separate files does not have inherent advantages -- unless it is a multiuser project AND some of the users are HTML designers but not programmers.

This is naturally the case when developing (as you say) a commercial project or an open source product. But I refuse to believe that the majority of Perl/CGI programs fall into these categories. I'm not just talking about short-term web pages or personal web pages, but intranet web pages and applications where the HTML is simple enough for the programmer(s) to handle.

Is this really that uncommon? Am I alone in being a Perl programmer who can handle his own HTML without outside interference from non-programming web designers?

The programmer understanding the problem isn't the problem. :) The problem in the intranet scenario is that it is very regular for another person to try to make changes. In an ideal world these other people would keep their grubby fingers off... if you know of the secret trick to taming project managers, please post it for me so I can re-simplify my dynamic content methods. :) --Paris	[reply]
