  I think that some of the 5 star ratings were a reaction of merlyn's 1 star ratings (now removed) over the phone-home issue.

  See here [perl.org] for an earlier discussion of this.

  It is an obvious "copy" of CGI::Application. I wonder what the user base size compared to C::A it has? I have heard nothing about it.

  Quite honestly, if I have to think too hard when I read code, I will move on. Those weirdly placed semi-colons make my nose bleed.

    ahhhhhh. I think I have seen that style before. Maybe it was from the same author. How could one possibly find that readable? It looks like he starts every line with a semi colon, so that he cannot forget them. Thinking about it, he probably should be using python instead.

      I think that is exactly what he is doing. I think the CPAN gods should lightning bolt him. lol

    It started out as a reimplementation of CGI::Application. I still faintly remember the turmoil he caused on the cgiapp mailing list too. See http://www.mail-archive.com/cgiapp@lists.erlbaum.net/msg01291.html [mail-archive.com] and further down the thread.
