Thanks for the comment.  My motivation to go with something that looks
like a framework to produce web-based interfaces is based on perception
of ease of getting it going.  So that the main work would remain with
making the actual application better, not on the web interface.

Since you suggest using CGI:Application and a POE HTTP server (which
one could be good for that ?) I'll then take a look and try to evaluate
the overhead. I'm somewhat familiar with the TT, so that's mostly OK.

Having a POE HTTP server would certainly make the integration with the
application easier, which is a plus.  Is there a SSL option with any of
the POE HTTP servers ?

Thanks.
