  • Maybe you can write an article about it when you win? This is just the kind of apples-to-apples comparison that's so hard to come by and yet can be so persuasive.

    • I think it is so hard because the skill levels of each person skews the end result. I have been steadily learning Perl but the Java person is just picking it up again after about a year.

  • Get CGI::Application::Pligin::TT and use both!

    • I am the level in my Perl learning where I really need to focus on one or the other. Once I get that down then I will look at combining them. One of my goals was to use "as little as possible" in my development of the web app.

      I am leaning towards CGI-Application and HTML-Template as HT is a "simple" yet "powerful" paradigm. That and I really dig CA's run modes.

      • Well the plugin allows you to use C::A's runmodes but use TT as the template language ( no need for [% USE CGI %] in your templates or any other of the more involved constructs that can make TT more like programming than templating).

        • I meant to say this:

          The plugin that I mentioned allows you to replace HTML::Template with TT as the templating language.

          TT as a templating language is very easy, most of the time you don't need anything more complex than [% PROCESS %] [% FOREACH %] or [% variable.property %]

          I prefer using TT, but good luck with your project with whichever approach you choose.
