No!!!
Keep perl and DTML seperate. If people want to play in Perl fine, but keep it seperate from everything else. Perl-only methods and external methods, no DTML mangling and no perl expression in dtml tags. Newbies get confused enough with python...
Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like THAT! (Which would indeed be appalling.) What I meant was that a typical through the web product developed today would be a combination of PythonMethods and DTML... people coming from the perl world could make their products using PerlMethods and DTML. Expressions in DTML are still python, which shouldn't be *too* painful for perl folks. Kevin
