RE: [cgiapp] load_tmpl() question.

[suppressed]

To be honest, I would not mind having a slightly incompatible change to the
C::A API, that would do away with the load_tmpl and query() methods
entirely (although I do understand the dependance on the CGI module from
the headers() aspect).  I would much rather have a subclass or a SuperApp
class to let me decide what templating system I wish to use (if any),  My
reasoning being that the templating system used should be a local decision,
not one made by the framework.

However, not eliminating the dependence on H::T is not a huge deal with me,
since I use it anyway.  In fact, if it went away, I would probably add it
back by making C::A::HT module that I would use instead.  Besides, there is
a lot of existing code out there right now that uses load_tmpl and H::T,
so...

My $0.02,
Brian

OK, I agree with this on a general basis (and I can also narrow to the
load_tmpl() specific situation my previous statement about hiding
external modules use in C::A apps, which could sound too general
really).

But then your considerations should apply also to the *existing*
load_tmpl() method, since it is a method conceived exactly as an
"interface to different contructors/methods of other commonly used
modules", as you said.

If we will implement load_tmpl_scalar_ref() somewhat out of C::A, as you
seem to suggest, we will end up in a situation where we can use the
internal load_tmpl() method when we want to load a template from a file,
while we have to resort to some external something when we want to load
a template from a text ref.

At least in this particular case, it's a little bit confusing, I
think...

I perfectly agree, on a general basis.
