Squatting

[John Beppu]

Hey Campers,

I liked Camping so much that I had to "port" it to Perl.  My framework is
called Squatting (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting), and you can
get it from the following places:

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Squatting/

http://github.com/beppu/squatting/tree/master

It's not a straight port of the Camping code, because Camping uses some
weird Ruby idioms that don't translate well to Perl.  However, I tried to
make the API retain the feel of Camping as best as I could under the
circumstances.

With that said, I did make a few significant deviations from Camping that
some of you may find interesting.

   - I used Continuity (http://continuity.tlt42.org/) as my foundation.
   This gives me the ability to implement RESTless controllers which will come
   in handy when I want to start playing with COMET.
   - I let multiple views coexist.  (Let's say you wanted to make a mobile
   version of your site.  I'd like to treat that as a separate view that uses
   the same controllers.)
   - Instead of defining your controllers as classes that inherit from
   whatever it is that R returns, you define your controllers as objects.  (I'm
   doing poor man's prototype-based OO as you'll see if you dig into the code.)
   - Similarly, views are objects, too.

(All the JavaScript I've been writing has clearly warped my mind.  I'm like,
"Screw classes!".  That was my attitude in college, too...  which is
probably why I didn't graduate, but I digress.)

Anyway, take a look, and amuse yourself.

Disclaimer:  This is alpha level code, so don't be surprised if the API
mutates a little.
