[Maypole] Maypole Competitor

[petersm]

I don't how useful/informative this will be but I recently discovered Maypole
(from the Perl.com article) but I was (still am for a limited amount of time)
part of the CheesePizza (cheesepizza.venzia.com) project which is an MVC
application framework base on CGI::Application, HTML::Template, and
CGI::Session. It has a lot of the same goals and ideas. Design decisions were
made (mostly not by me) that I think make it a little clunky but I used it on
several dozen projects very happily. Just thought you might like to know so
you can add it to your list of competitors (simon).

I think I will personally be switching to Maypole for a couple of reasons...
I think there will be far more support...
I'm really warming up to the idea of Class::DBI...
Template::Toolkit makes working with classes and function easy (although I
still like HTML::Template for simplicity: maybe we can have an
HTML::Template::Extended that let's you use classes and add functions to be
used there are well.... just rambling). 

Anyway, just thought I'd give you the heads up and maybe you can glean some
ideas from reading the CheesePizza documentation.
