This is strongly reminiscent of a Lotus Domino web application. Very, very, very cool. I like it. | [reply] |
I read that same article last week and found it very interesting, so I joined the list... haven't got around to trying it out yet. I like the idea of having business logic separated from the display logic.
Worth a read most definitely. | [reply] |
There's also a nice article, (part one of a two part series) in the April edition of The Perl Journal. Here Simon cooks up a recipe database and utilises Apache::MVC (a subclass of Maypole). Along the way he looks at some very cool stuff like normalizing data with Class::DBI triggers (subroutine refs executed after particular db events like CREATE and UPDATE). He also utilises Class::DBI::Untaint to tell Maypole what sort of data to expect for specific fields. For display he uses XML::LibXSLT and Template::Plugin::XSLT
The article is only 5 pages, and is not big on detail with respect to all the modules utilised. But we have the module documentation to fill in the cracks, and I 'm certainly looking forward to the second part due in May. | [reply] |
