in Iglu is the right way forward: code can live in the
HTML template, the particular script generating the page
or a .pm handling a module of functionality. I think we
could do with some guidelines about where code should live
in these 3 things. For instance:In modules
----------
All code should live in modules except:In HTML (templates)
-------
Diplay orientated code (such as display this field as a
price (2 decimal places)).In the script
-------------
Set up (template) variables, usually by using Database.pm
and any validation/Database updates.These are obviously guidelines not rules. Any thoughts?
