I'm doing something similar, but using a database (and caches) for
url<->filename mappings (usually to Mason components, searching the
component root path) and then using a filter in the autohandler to
change urls of the form "comp:docs/index" to a url that maps to that
component.

This lets me rearrange the public view of the site without moving any
files and allows me to rearrange the files without changing the
public view.

I'm working on a framework that will use the Mason component as the
controller, Perl modules as the model, and either Mason components or
TT templates called from the controller as the view.  The view would
output XML that would then be put through AxKit or similar by the
autohandler to add style information and produce HTML or whatever
format we needed.

The end result is that the work-code (model) is indepenent of
interface, the controller is independent of view, and the view is
somewhat (via XML) independent of look&feel.

I don't have benchmarks yet to demonstrate its non-scalability.

I know also this; i subscribed Axkit ml on 31 May 2000, but still does not
have the courage to look at xml and co. :) I'll post a question on the
other ml, ok?

Ciao, Valerio

There's no conflict between using XML and using Objects if you're using AxKit. 
Especially thanks to Simon Cozen's nice new taglib.

It seems perfect for mod_perl2. Really interesting, xml appears to be
the final destination for most of us, even if now i prefer objects.
