Of course you _can_ do it without CGI.pm. But why would you? It's probably one of the most broadly used modules from CPAN. Very well tested and stable. That being said, there are many things it _can_ do that I don't usually use it for. Like generating the CGI forms (I was writing HTML before Perl, so it's just easier for me to print <<HTML;). But for anything remotely complex (getting form args, file uploads, etc.), I'll gladly let the CGI.pm maintainers (bless their souls) keep up with the latest standards & best practices. Now, I think someone mentioned mod_perl. mod_perl and CGI.pm are not, to the best of my knowledge, exclusive. All of my current projects are written as mod_perl modules (no actual directories or .cgi's needed! :), but I still use CGI.pm for some things ... laziness again I suppose. It works, I know the interface. -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
