You've never made a sticky form then.

However, HTML::FillInForm, HTML::Widget, CGI::FormBuilder were *not*
in core. CGI.pm was. One stop shopping. Easy to describe to people.
We need the same thing for Perl6: "If you're going to do simple web stuff,
please use MUMBLE module". And MUMBLE better have tight integration of param
processing and sticky form generation, as well as good header generation for
cookies and redirects. In other words, at least two thirds of what CGI.pm
does for me now. And MUMBLE better be included *with* Perl6.
Without that, people will *hand code* that stuff, and get it wrong, and we'll
get the reputation of Perl6 being horrible for the web.
I am in favour of different bundles. Then you can, for example
yum install perl6-base
or
yum install perl6-web
or
yum install perl6-everything
You know what I mean. The diff between perl6-base and perl6-web is a
bunch of (CPAN6) modules.
