Catalyst, Jifty, Acme, Acyou, SillyIdol, WhatEver. So we might agree ;) Catalysy, Jifty [..] are all "higher level" complete frameworks. I used CGI.pm for rather lower level tasks (POST/GET-parsing, HTTP redirects, ...) than as a foundation to build complete applications (where the higher level framework come in). So I think that there should be a (well designed) module for those lower level (donkeywork) tasks and only for those (so definitely no HTML-generation...). Other frameworks (or simple CGI-scripts or even a backwards compatible CGI.pm) could be built upon this foundation. -Thomas
