How about if what he wrote used the same interface, but a much lighter, simpler implementation. Eg. CGI::Simple? How does that affect your cost/benefit analysis? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

Code which uses CGI.pm is easier for ME to maintain than code which uses something you wrote! That's quite a bold statement. Considering you don't know my non-existing code, it must be solely based on the quality code CGI.pm provides. But still, how come `use CGI; ... your code ...` [download] is more maintainable than `use JavaFan::CGI; ... your code ...` [download] ?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Purely because I rarely need to refer to the documentation for CGI.pm. I'm saying I would rather work with something I am familiar with, all other things being equal. - Boldra	[reply]
