CGI-Lazy version 1.09
=====================
CGI::Lazy was designed to simply abstract some of the more common cgi scripting tasks because the author finally got sick of writing the same code by hand for every new site or client that comes along.  It is my attempt to extend the wonderful CGI.pm...

There are plenty of webdev frameworks out there, many are far more full- featured.  Often these solutions are so monstrous that they are overkill for small apps, or so optimized that they require full admin rights on the server they run on.  CGI::Laz...

Lazy has also been written to be useful in a mod_perl environment if that is your pleasure.  The wonders of persistence and namespaces have been (again, hopefully) all accounted for.  It should plug into your mod_perl environment with little or no fu...

For the most part, CGI::Lazy is simply a subclass of CGI::Pretty, which is an easier to read version of CGI.pm. 

We need to use CGI::Pretty due to a css issue in IE where the style definitions aren't always followed unless there is the appropriate amount of whitespace between html tags.  Luckilly, CGI::Pretty takes care of this pretty transparently, and it's ou...

CGI::Lazy adds a bunch of hooks in the interest of not working any harder than we need to, otherwise it's a CGI::Pretty object.

Probably 80% of the apps the author has been asked to write have been front ends to some sort of database, so that's definitely the angle Lazy is coming from.  It works just fine with no db, but most of the fancy work is unavailable.

Output to the web is intended to be through templates via HTML::Template.  However, if you want to write your content into the code manually, we won't stop you.  Again, the whole point was to be flexible and reusable, and to spend our time writing ne...

The CGI::Lazy::Ajax::Dataset module especially was written to bring spreadsheet-like access to a database table to the web in a fairly transparent manner- after all, most of the time you're doing one of 4 operations on a database: select, insert, upd...

In any event, it is my hope that this is useful to you.  It has saved me quite alot of work.  I hope that it can do the same for you.  Bug reports and comments are always welcome.

Lazy is just a framework- a front end to commonly called routines in HTML::Template, DBI, and others.  It is NOT a content management system, and it's not a magical solution to whatever web monstrosity some client thinks they want.  It does not repla...
