in perl, as you likely know by now, there is always more than one way to do it, whatever it is you want to do. in some cases, there is a clear best way.

this is not one of those cases.

it depends what you want to do; it depends how long you want to take putting it together, and how many hours a week you intend to spend maintaining it. it depends on the size of the site, the speed of response needed from the site, and even on how uniform the site is in graphical content and stylistic look. it also, importantly, depends what you like to code.

personally, i like HTML::Mason. i also like the numerous suggestions made in this and other nodes on the subject.
