Hello,

Wx::WidgetMaker is interesting because it does some of the things
suggested previously. I must admit, I'd never read past the word 'CGI'
before. For me, 'CGI.pm like' would be the wrong starting point.

As the author of the module says, its 'a CGI.pm-like library for wxPerl'.

For me, I feel that starting out to emulate CGI.pm would be a very
limiting approach that might not lend itself well to as rich an
environment as wxPerl. But that's really really not a criticism of
Wx::WidgetMaker which does exactly what it says on the tin.

Perhaps I have a minority viewpoint on this. I came to Perl first via
data munging and DBI. If my entry point had been CGI then perhaps my
view would be different.

Mark
