I agree that the semicolon placement is something that
we don't see much around here. There is a good reason
for doing it that way in some other languages.
For example, unnecessary semicolons tended to
compile into extra assembly language instructions in
Borland Turbo Pascal 3.0. The module's unusual style
minimizes extra semicolons while still making it
obvious if one is left out. There is also some other cleverness in the module, but I've seen more extreme examples in some well-respected code. Is the complaint really just about non-standard semicolons? After running the module through perltidy a few times, the semicolon placement went away, the braces were where I expected them, and I was left with an interesting read. I'll probably stick with CGI::Application, though.
It should work perfectly the first time! - toma
