Return to the Kingdom of the Blind

Returnto the 

Kingdom of the Blind

Last year

The Kingdom of the Blind

Told a few stories

We laughed

Invited youto helpme out

Some ofyou did

Thank you

But the problems

didn'tgo away

In some ways they got worse

It's almost like a five

minute talk at a conference isn't enough

(Probably should have

Tweeted about it too)

One particular problem

CGI

CGI is Dead

But people don't know

it yet

(It's like the oppositeof Perl)

People ask for help with CGI programs

Other people suggest PSGI

“PSGI is too complicated”

Wrong

“CGI is the simplest solution”

Wrong

“CGI is still good for a

quick solution”

So much misinformation

We have allies

Lee Johnson

New CGI.pm maintainer

“HTML Generation functions should no

longer be used”

CGI::Alternatives

CGI.pm removed

fromPerl 5.22

Why don't people know

this?

All out of date

Catalyst

(Bit of aleap from CGI.pm)

As I'm countering this misinformation

...

... I find myself having

worrying thoughts ...

... and writing worrying

things

“I really wish there was a good

book that covered this

stuff”

“Why doesn't someone just

write a book on this?”

“Perhaps I should just write this bloody book”

Sigh
