Just for the record, this is not correct and I think time has proven that integrating language into the html output has resulted in a Marjory of active server pages. Aside from Perl, there has been similar constructions in python, rails, php, etc etc etc... I just have a distaste for opinions spouted as facts. If anything, CGI.PM is the clumsy huge animal and is problematic, even from the beginning. There has always been work arounds to sidestep it including fastcgi et al. Use of it is a (huge at times) convenience for some, but speed, organization and efficiency are not it's benefits. -- So many immigrant groups have swept through our town that Brooklyn, like Atlantis, reaches mythological proportions in the mind of the world - RI Safir 1998 http://www.mrbrklyn.com DRM is THEFT - We are the STAKEHOLDERS - RI Safir 2002 http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive http://www.coinhangout.com - coins! http://www.brooklyn-living.com Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013
