If you've ever played with .NET visual studio to create a web service, you'll know it comes with a rather nice web front end after you've written your web service that allows you to test the thing (assuming the data you're passing to it is fairly flat).
Well Kip Hampton has gone and done it again, with a rather elegant implementation of a similar thing in Perl. The article explains how to build a web application using CGI::XMLApplication that provides SOAP, REST, and plain HTML interfaces into the application.
Nice work Kip, I really enjoyed the article.
On another unrelated note, I originally typed this in, previewed it, then closed the browser window. Wouldn't it be nice if browsers had something like Word Processors do where they tell you if you try to exit with unsaved changes. Something like: "You have unsubmitted form content. Are you sure you want to quit?". Might be annoying for some sites, but for blogging, it would be a real boon. Maybe I should just use Bloxsom (is there a Jetsxom too?) instead.

I like blosxom too, it's neato.
But you don't have to type in "blosxom" all the time. I just have a shell script to create a new file in the right directory. That and a link on my home page and I'm set. Haven't typed it in since day 1.

I guess I'm not too good at putting across humour. It was a joke:-)
