I'd love to have a mod_perl enabled server. I currently have a webmaster account with pair.com that is $28/mo. But I'm rather addicted to the nice admin interface they have for adding domains, mail, etc. I know it makes me less of a geek but... > > Crud checking at the entity being viewed/updated/ for the user since this > > allows you to re-use the rm code and html template code.

Going back to Owain's example, I don't want a user to edit someone else's profile. Or maybe I don't even want to show the edit form in the first place. Perhaps I'll show the display version instead. Pushing that functionality down into CDBI seems inappropriate. I might have checks in my CDBI model to prevent accidental screwups to be paranoid, but you also need the information on the application level so it can determine if a screen is appropriate for a given user.
