CGI::Application is designed to fit into many tool
environments.  It gives you object oriented control
over your screens.

I use CGI::FormBuilder and CGI.pm both in building
application screens.

I find CGI::FormBuilder easy to use and it also fits
right into two common template tools in Perl.  I use
it almost transparently with CGI::Application.  When I
need some custom work, I can always use CGI.pm for
that part.

For commands ... you have to decide how you want to
manage it.  In one application I parse a file of
commands and then display results using
CGI::FormBuilder.  I use the upload feature to get the
file from the PC connected to the server.  Then I save
the command stream in a common data area that is
shared by all users who need to use that command
stream.

I use a separate object to manage parsing and
disemination of the data.

Sincerely,

David Scott
