It has been agreed that there is one, and only one, issue which perfectly splits the Perl community down the middle 50-50: CGI.pm and the HTML methods. Half like 'em, half don't.

I find that I prefer letting CGI.pm handle frms, but at the same time, really don't like the HTML methods. And you really shouldn't mix th two, unless you want to blow a synapse (although letting CGI.pm produce the header and handling the rest your self is not so bad).

A good discussion of the routines came up while discussing CGI.pm's would be successor, on over at RFC CGI.pm refactoring. You might want to check it out.

Cheers,
Erik

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
