  • elaborate on why we need another CGI framework? I use (and love) CGI::Application [uwinnipeg.ca], which already has built-in support for HTML::Template and plugin support for Template, Session Management, Input Validation, etc. There's also a lively community around those modules already and the module authors are happy to receive patches and/or other contributions for improvements.
    • Randal's explication of the Why of this module is serialized in his Linux Magazine May-July, 2005 column #70 [stonehenge.com] and #71 [stonehenge.com] and #72 [stonehenge.com] as motivated, worked example(s).

      My summary -

      CGI::Prototype offers a different way of factoring out the "you always had to write this glue code" code. Catalyst uses the Perl Attributes annotations to factor out glue-code, which is classy demonstration that attributes are a good idea. CGI::Prototype uses prototypical (instance-based, or nonce-class, or "Frame-Slot") inheritance.
