Catalyst is off topic for sure, but this matter impinges on the topic of whether or not to abandon CGI::App in favour of Catalyst. > I didn't notice any post you might have made to the Cat list, but > reproducable "slow to > run" cases would be welcomed there. It's true I didn't post to any Catalyst list. Sigh - it's a complex problem. o Slow was an extremely polite way of saying it was unusable. I avoided being blunt to avoid offending contributors such as yourself. Even unusable is polite... o To investigate that problem has a number of connotations, making it a difficult decision, for me at least o Time spent on that would take me away from my (perhaps pointless) dream of writing my own generic web-base gui to interface to databases (again), even though getting that particular code going would in fact be a solution, presumably o What worried me was where the problem might actually lie o Would I have to delve into DBIx::Class, having just recently decided to adopt Rose as my primary ORM? I've used Class::DBI successfully in the past, so that decision is not all negative, given also that DBIx::Class add-ons are clearly a growth industry o Would I have to delve into Catalyst, about which I know very little? Of course, in a couple of years we may all be using Catalyst o How long would it take, how much effort would it require, and would I be satisfied with the result? o There's also the great feeling of intellectual achievement when you do something (at least a bit) new, different, and successful. This I'm happy to confess impelled me to work on the CGI::App version o I'd have to enrol in yet another mailing list, with another password, and filter out all the 'interesting' but not directly relevant posts o Last Wednesday I was offered a new, part-time, job, and hence have a little less time to devote to all this We now return you to your regular, scheduled program. -- Ron Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://savage.net.au/index.html ##### CGI::Application community mailing list ################ ## ## ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp ## ## ## ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ## ## ################################################################
