Ok, I'm a fan of classes and we heavily work on the HTML output 
actually. So what do you think about two classes OpenCA::UI::HTML which 
include all HTML output functionalities and OpenCA::Utilities which 
include the stuff from misc-utils etc.?

These classes would reduce the loading time dramtically if mod_perl is 
activated. Another problem is the crypto library. Parts of this library 
are OpenSSL specific and must be moved to OpenCA::OpenSSL or 
OpenCA::Token::OpenSSL. Other parts can be integrated into 
OpenCA::Utilities. If we move these libraris then we get a problem with 
our conventional configurationfiles.

Any comments about these ideas?
