I'd like to point out that this might be a good idea for a perl6
microgrant: http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/22/1542235

Afaict so far only 2 out of 10 are granted, so ideas and applications
are welcome.

Cheers,
Moritz

They outline my thoughts; you'll probably be able to extrapolate most of
the interface from it.


I should also point out that copies those 2 list posts are also in 
the Pugs repository, in the docs/ folder of ext/HTTP/ (the more 
central of the 2 derived projects); I put them there at the same time 
as creating ext/HTTP/ for purposes of both explanation and posterity; 
the implementation and rationale are together.


Eg, see: http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/ext/HTTP/docs/

The main advantage to seeing the perl6-users archive versions is that 
list replies from other people can also be seen there.

Indeed.

Whenever you have specific questions, or get stuck, don't hesitate to
ask. I can probably find a tuit or two to help, or someone else might.

Thanks,

My biggest gripe with CGI's html methods is the inconsistency in their
names.  I use them every now and then, but I always have to go and look
up the documentation.  It's "textfield" isn't it?  So that would make
this one "passwordfield": nope, it's "password_field".  "popup_menu" so
"scrolling_menu"... Ah, no: "scrolling_list".  How do I make it
multi-select again?


Yes, this needs to be redesigned completely. Are you volunteering?


Is this still needed?  If so yes, I'm now volunteering!  Where'd you 
like me to start?


All the best,

Jacinta


Pursuant to Juerd Waalboer's contributions to the relevant 
perl6-users discussion threads on 20060917,21, a replacement effort 
has been started.


See the ext/HTTP/ and ext/Web/ skeleton code in the current Pugs 
repository, which is basically a copy of Juerd's code in the 
discussion emails, which I wrapped with distributions on his behalf 
on 20070217.


Presumably Juerd will get back to these when he has the tuits, but 
meanwhile you could try improving what he started.
