in reply to rant on = qw(HTML::Mason Embperl Template etc) ;
While I have yet to digest your complete "rant", I must take exception to your assertion:
in a quality program such as Dreamweaver or FrontpageI am sorry, but the words "quality" and "Frontpage" are mutually exclusive. Dreamweaver (and most WYSIWYG HTML tools) add so much cruft and overhead to pages it is beyond a joke.
